Worked what looked like good water for about an hour, nuthin'. Moving on I went in search of back eddy's or good cover or a good shelf feeder. Saw a nice shelf on the otherside of the river, of coures. Said foock it and went for it. Jackpot! landed 6 lost 4.

The wife decided to stay at the hotel and hit the spa and gave a a day pass, score. Left her at the hotel and headed down to the valley river.



I marked where I had good luck the day before by a powerline tower and high tailed it there………



So after I hit around a dozen fish the rest was gravy, only one of the surface the rest bowed to the Price Nimff, star player of the day. Fish pics…………











I caught a bunch of cookie cutter browns, this one looks like he got into a scrap with something……….






Lunch on the deck, nice view…….

Sweet!!! Psyched you found some good waters and tied into some nice fish. Love the colors on those browns! The Tyrol is beautiful country and relatively unknown outside of Germany.

Take care

Great fish and pics, the also beer looks fantastic River looks as could do with a good ol' downpour

Hi Wingnut,

Any chance of a little more info?

Which River is that and where abouts is it?

Planning a trip to fish in the Zillertal Valley later this year and your pics have really wetted my appetite.

Cheers

Michael

Austrian Ploughman's lunch looks good too!

Michael,

I hope you're not going in July. They generate hydropower in the Ziller during the main holiday season ie early July through to September and the river can rise by up to a metre in a few seconds and is just pretty much unfishable. There is a nice little stream up in the mountains - the Zembach - full of small tough little browns & rainbows. Where will you be staying?
