Angling & Fishing
in the Mühlviertel
First-class water flows in the riverbed and brown trout, grayling and aitel romp about in it
Fly fishing in the Great Mill requires patience and a lot of feeling. You can't rely on luck alone, because the smart fish don't bite on everyone. That's why it's mainly experienced fishermen who appreciate the water.
But the region has a lot to offer not only for fly fishers. There is also a general fishing trail on the Great Mill. In addition, you can try your luck at fishing at the various ponds (e.g. Ziegelteich in Aigen-Schlägl, Urlsee in Klaffer am Hochficht) in the region.
