YOUR AREA:

Putterersee
is a 13-hectare moorland lake with a depth of 1 to 7 m, a standing body of water, which also has a large population of zander, perch, eel, catfish, tench (from 1 July) and grass carp. (Pikeperch from June 1st, tench no removal). The lake is one of the most well-known waters for coarse and predatory fish in Styria. The reed zones of the lake promote the white fish population and thus offer the best conditions for successful fishing. Only the lake’s own fish or bait fish offered by the manor may be used in the natural biotope! 5 minutes walk from the hotel with its own cabin and boat on the lake.
Exclusive for house guests: Night fishing with private cabin, umbrella, and rowboats on the lake. Limited number of anglers per day.

Gulling
So that the fly fisherman gets his money’s worth, the Gulling, a mountain stream with numerous natural pools, offers itself as a catchy alternative to sea fishing. The Gulling primarily contains brown trout, rainbow trout, and grayling. Fishable is only the in-house part of 2.5 km. Flies, nymphs and spiders can be used as bait in this stream. Within walking distance from the house.
Exclusive: Fishing in the Gulling is only permitted for house guests and is only a 5-minute walk from Gut Puttererseehof.

Hofer Lohe
In addition, there is an old arm of the Enns, the Hofer-Lohe, where the carp specialist can land his capital catches. This branch of the former Enns is subject to the Irdninger fishing association.

Enns
The same applies to the leisurely flowing Enns, which is called a fly fishing paradise along the entire length of the valley.
However, it is advisable to have waders for this body of water, as boots are not enough in the many deeper areas.
In the Enns, other baits are also allowed in sections (depending on the agreement of the tenants). The closed seasons and minimum dimensions can be seen in the Styrian fishing card. The stock of the Enns is made up of grayling, brown trout and rain trout, brook trout, pike and huchen. The strong grayling distance is particularly noteworthy at this point.
