Fishing in the Ybbstal Alps
Ready for an exciting fishing trip? The diversity and particularly good water quality of the Ybbstaler waters are not only beneficial to the fish, but also to the anglers!
The Ybbs has its source near Mariazell and flows through almost all member communities of the Ybbstal Alps. With its shallow sandbanks and deep pools, it is a real fly fisherman's paradise! Brook and rainbow trout as well as grayling and the occasional barbel, danube salmon and aitel inhabit the Ybbs, which carries the water quality class I-II. At Lunzer See lake you have the opportunity to fish from a boat or to go fishing from one of the meadow shores.
