The Ybbs river can be fly fished over 50 kilometers of divided fishing Districts within the river. With its different water formations and absolutely clear waters, together with the multiplicity of emerald tones, this river is counted as one of the top fly fishing waters by experienced fly fishers. Those new to fly fishing in general are also heartily welcome. There are courses and private instruction where people can learn the most important elements of fly fishing and soon achieve their desired success.
The Ybbs river is between 20 and 35 meters wide and there is good access to the water everywhere. It can be accessed from either side. There are also nearby creeks and exceptional brooks in Hollenstein.
The beautiful landscape along the valleys and the heartfelt hospitality in the area round out a most favorable impression for fly fishing.
