Flyfishing in Lech, Austria

Petri Heil & tight lines

Standing and flowing waters in the middle of the unique landscapes of the Arlberg invite anglers and fishermen alike to try their luck. The Lake Formarin and Lake Spuller are home to a solid population of brown trouts and rainbow trouts, which share their territory with lake trouts and brook trouts.

The following crystal-clear waters are open to all fishermen:

  • Lechbach
  • Zug fish pond
  • Lake Spuller
  • Lake Formarin
  • Lake Zürs
»Shielded by high fir forests, the Lech River is a true paradise for brown trouts, lake trouts, rainbow trouts, char – and for fly fishermen.«
Toni Grissemann • Guide

Even without a fishing licence, nothing stands in the way of your fishing experience. The only prerequisite for purchasing a day ticket is appropriate behaviour. The day tickets can be purchased at Hejfish or at the tourism office. Please note: Fishing with barbed hooks is prohibited in the entire area.

In addition to the club’s own fishing pond in Zug, a strong, local fishing club also manages the Lechbach and Lake Spuller fishing areas. Local guides such as Toni Grissemann also offer guided day courses on fly fishing and show you the best spots.
