Hi, I think it's hard to fish in dicember in austria becouse they have a short season that goes from april to october. But try getting on this site its german or italian but at least you have names of hotels and rivers and phone numbers. Hope it helps, nicco

Hi guys,

sorry, didn't have a chance to visit the site since November. Was on a duty trip for 2.5 months to Kosovo and came back to Vienna last week.

For anyone intersted to do winter flyfishing in Austria, there are waters fromm HURCH company, www.hurch.com

My favourite winter fishing river is Muehlheimer Ache because of the possibility to fish with dry flies. Going there this weekend but will concentrate on Barbel and Graylings only:). Huge rainbows are also available and less brownies and chub.

Another place worth to visit is the part of Enns Schonau. The water sections belong to one of the most popular flyfisherman for Danube Salmon, Wolfgang. It is 1.5 hrs of drive from Vienna, crystal clear water full fo fish. Huge graylings and rainbows prevail but also big browns are caught every year as well. With a 7/8 weight rod the best is to go for the famous Danube Salmon or as they call it here HUCHEN. The licenses can be purchased at www.activefishing.at
