Austria's fishing is managed by state (Land) authorities. You need a state fishing licence (Fischereikarte or Landesfischereikarte) plus a water-specific permit (Angelkarte) for each venue. Requirements vary by state (Bundesland) — confirm with local fishing associations or tackle shops before travelling.
Austria's trout and salmonid fishing is exceptional from April through October in the alpine streams and lakes. Carp and coarse fishing on the lowland Danube floodplain waters and large reservoirs is best from May through September. The iconic Neusiedler See and Danube Alte Arme (oxbow lakes) produce outstanding carp, bream and zander. Winter fishing is permitted on most stillwaters but activity slows significantly. The Carinthian lakes district offers some of Austria's most scenic fishing from June through August.
