Nestled in the breathtaking Zillertal Alps at elevations of 800-1800 meters, the 18km Zemmbach River winds through dramatic mountain scenery, fed by crystal-clear alpine streams and culminating at the stunning Schlegeisspeicher reservoir.

Anglers will find diverse fishing experiences: tranquil dry-fly sections teeming with trout, challenging rapids perfect for Czech nymphing, and even bellyboat fishing (with motor rentals available at Zum Schneider) on the reservoir.

Fishing permits cost €35/day, plus a one-time €15 Tyrolean fishing license valid for two weeks across the region. For multi-day trips, hiring a local guide is highly recommended to maximize your catch.
