Fly-fishing in the centre of Bad Goisern at Lake Hallstatt is possible in the Mühlbach, a tributary of the river Traun. Due to the calm running water there is a good amount of fish, which can reach a weight of up to four kilograms.

The 2.7 km long stretch of the Mühlbach is easily accessible thanks to a width of three to a maximum of ten meters and a depth of up to two meters and is ideally suited for fly-fishing. Wading through the stream is allowed, but wad fishing is forbidden.

Fish occurrences in the Mühlbach

Due to the low water level fluctuations, the Mühlbach also has a good amount of fish. There are mainly brown trouts, which can weigh up to four kilograms, rainbow trouts, lake trouts, brook trouts, graylings and pikes.

The taking of a maximum of two fish per day is allowed with the day ticket, annual license holders may take a maximum of 30 salmonids per year. Only fly fishing is allowed, but only with artificial flies.

You can get the respective licenses directly in Bad Goisern at Lake Hallstatt, at the gunsmith Struger Franz and also at the Hotel Moserwirt.
