Licenses and regulations

Fly-Fishing in Austria is highly regulated and licenses are required for the region, as well as the river. While at times this can be discouraging, it means that the waters receive very low fishing pressure, and often you will find yourself alone on a river for the entire day. Our guide provides you information about the license costs and vendor locations for the respective waters - the license vendor will arrange for the additional region license, which normally costs between 5 - 20 euros.
