The Flyfishing Paradise

15 Kilometers & two Mountain Lakes of the Uncommon Kind

It is one of the loveliest and most fascinating valleys in Austria: the valley of the river Gail, rich in trout, which is one of the best for fly-fishing enthusiasts. The crystal-clear waters of the Gail, of the Valentin and Mühl streams (quality 1A) and of the artificial lake (Stausee) are home to a rich natural fish heritage, comprising brown trout, rainbow trout, grayling and char. The course of the Gail, the gorge of the Valentin, wild and romantic, the Wiesenbach, or the ”stream that flows through the meadows”, the blue-green waters of the Alpine lakes … a real paradise, even for the most demanding angler!
