Fly fishing amid beautiful nature in the Passeier Valley

FLY FISHING IN THE PASSER

The Passer, the mountain stream flowing through the Passeier Valley, is designated for fly fishing only, apart from one short stretch. With varied water features, deep blue pools, rushing rapids and gently flowing sections, surrounded by an imposing mountain landscape, the Passer offers ideal conditions for every fly fisher, whether a beginner or a professional.

The Passer is a paradise for fly fishers, especially in spring and autumn.

Fly fishing – the fishing waters in the Passeier Valley

There are two fly-fishing-only stretches on the Passer, Zone C and Zone A1. Fishing is also possible in three mountain lakes near the Timmelsjoch.

Zone C is approx. 10 km long and runs from the Granstein weir to the dam in Gomion. Only barbless hooks may be used throughout this stretch of water, and no marble trout may be kept.

Zone A1 runs along the Pfelderer Bach in the upper Passeier Valley. A small, clear mountain stream with a good fish population. Here too, only barbless hooks may be used, and no marble trout may be kept.

The Passer regularly yields trophy catches of brown trout, rainbow trout and even the “queen”, the marble trout.

The 3 mountain lakes in the Passeier Valley – Seebersee, großer Schwarzsee and kleiner Schwarzsee
The three mountain lakes in the Passeier Valley where fishing is permitted offer a wonderful alternative for fly fishing. A short to medium-length hike takes you to the mirror-smooth, deep-blue lakes, surrounded by massive mountain peaks. When you see the beautifully marked Arctic char rising in the crystal-clear water, you almost forget to cast your fly rod in sheer amazement.
