Declan,

I think fishing is open in April, and as you know, fish can potentially be caught all year round as long as there is open water.
But my guess is that it's a bit early in the season and very unstable. Austrian waters probably have a lot of runoff and would be likely to go high and milky from the glaciers and snow melting, On the other hand: if you can find clear water and the weather is agreeable, you might be lucky.
Most sources do quote late summer and autumn as the prime season in Austria.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
