Fishing at Pillersee

The fishing El Dorado in PillerseeTal is located in the heart of the valley, directly by Pillersee. The crystal-clear water in the lake - rarely exceeding 20 degrees - is fed by several mountain streams from the Loferer Steinberge, thus providing ideal conditions for the fish population. Pillersee is known among anglers above all by its abundance of trout and you can tuck into some Pillersee-trout in Gasthof Adolari Inn. But not only trout can be fished, brook trout, carp and minnow are also found in the cool waters. Fly-fishers can be sure to get their money’s worth here in St. Ulrich am Pillersee, with relevant courses also on offer.

Fishing at Lauchsee

Small but excellent is the fishing area at Lauchsee in Fieberbrunn. As in summer the lake also serves guests as a swimming lake, fishing is only allowed on the south bank and at night during the swimming season, which, however, in no way diminishes the fishing fun. The fish population in the lake is notable: Carp, tench, pikeperch, pike, sturgeon, bass, bitterling, whiting and even eel are abundant in the warm water containing moor.

Fishing in the fishing pond | Trout Ranch

The artificial fishing pond directly at the trout ranch in St. Ulrich am Pillersee offers perfect conditions for all sport fishing enthusiasts. The pond is fed by a stream from Pillersee, which channels the crystal-clear and cold water directly into the fishing pond. Rainbow trout, brown trout and char can be found. Rods, hand nets and landing nets are available to borrow directly on site - thus nothing stands in the way of a spontaneous fishing outing anymore. The fishing pond can also be viewed from below through four large panoramic screens and the underwater world marvelled at even better.
