Filter by species, night fishing, size and permit availability. Full rules and gastkarte links for every public venue in Styria and across Austriany.
Styria (Steiermark) is Austria's second-largest state and spans from the low-lying south to the alpine north. The Enns, Mur, Drau and Sulm rivers support trout and grayling in the upper reaches, transitioning to barbel, chub and nase in lower, warmer sections. The Schwarzl See near Graz is a productive commercial fishery, and several lowland gravel pits offer carp fishing.
The Mur in Graz and downstream holds good barbel, chub and bream fishing on day tickets. The Turracher See in the western Styrian alps holds char and trout and is a scenic destination for fly fishing. Night fishing regulations vary significantly across Styria — check individual venue pages and the managing Fischereiverein before planning an overnight session.
Species present across Styria's public waters include brown trout, grayling, barbel, chub, bream, carp, char. The exact mix varies by water type and area.
All anglers fishing public waters in Styria must hold a valid Fischereischein (state fishing licence) issued by the Styria fishery authority. Licences require passing the Fischerprüfung — a written and practical exam covering fish species, ecology and regulations.
In addition to the state licence, you need a Gastkarte (guest permit) for each individual water, issued by the managing Fischereiverein. Gastkarten are widely available at tackle shops and increasingly bookable online via hejfish.com. Night fishing, boat use and bivvy camping are regulated at venue level — always check the specific rules before travelling.
