Fly Fishing in the Alps
Austria 馃嚘馃嚬

The allure of alpine rivers first captivated me in 2010 when I moved to Zell am See for a hockey contract. The crystal-clear waters of the Salzach River and the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding lakes reignited my passion for fishing.

Following in My Father’s Footsteps

My love for fishing began in childhood, inspired by my father, who represented the Czech Republic in European and World Fly Fishing Championships. He taught me to use artificial flies, and I was instantly hooked. As a youth, I competed in local events, winning many and even earning a nomination for the 2002 Junior World Fly Fishing Championship in Scotland. By then, I knew my addiction to fishing was incurable. Yet my professional ice hockey career, with its relentless schedule, left little room for my lifelong passion.

A New Chapter in Fly Fishing

After retiring from hockey, I settled permanently in Zell am See and devoted myself fully to fly fishing. Over the past 11 years, I’ve explored every lake and river in the region and developed countless successful local fly patterns.

Now, I’m sharing my expertise as a guide for fellow anglers eager to discover Zell am See’s pristine, well-stocked waters. I’ll take you to hidden spots you’d never find alone, help you locate the ideal fishing grounds, and teach you the most effective techniques—from approaching the water to selecting the perfect fly pattern. For beginners, I offer tailored advice to refine tactics, improve casting, and master the art of landing big fish.

I look forward to welcoming you to this alpine fly-fishing paradise. Best wishes and tight lines!
