About this water

The Möll drains the Grossglockner at high altitude—fast, cold, glacially influenced water that demands respect. Brown trout, rainbow, and brook trout hold in the broken current, but snowmelt colors the water May through July. The real fishing window opens in late July when the glacier settles and clarity returns.

What would change the calculation
Warmer water — toward the 10–16 °C ideal band — would lift the temperature score.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
