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.
