The phrase "Fly Fishing"
Fliegenfischen
Austria's pristine water bodies offer an unparalleled fly fishing experience. With clear rivers and high alpine lakes, it's an angler's paradise, known for the diverse species including lake trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, grayling, huchen, and barbel.
Region-specific highlights include the Schรถder Valley's and Keeskogel Glacier's crystal clear mountain waters in SalzburgerLand, and the breathtakingly beautiful Gail River in Carinthia that offers a trophy route for fly fishermen. Meanwhile, in Styria's Ausseerland - Salzkammergut region, the Traun River ranks among Europe's top trout routes. Lastly, Burgenland's Lake Neusiedler See, home to about 30 fish types, promises sunny weather most of the year.
Fishing in Austria is highly regulated, ensuring low fishing pressure for a serene experience. Licenses, required for both the region and the specific river, can be arranged by license vendors, and usually cost between 5 - 20 eurosโ.

Unfortunately it's still difficult to find the right information to go fly fishing in another country.
Things like: Where do I go? What species to fish for in what months? How do I get a local permit? What gear works best?
