Fathers Day Fishing Weekend

Note: This event has already passed.
Go fly or spinning reel fishing in the Austrian Alps in the glacier fed waters around Galtür! This special fishing trip will delight all anglers looking for a challenge at a beautiful and scenic new destination, and offers the chance to go fly or spinning-reel fishing. Based out of comfortable apartments in the village of Galtür, you will spend the weekend fishing in your choice of multiple fishing sites, including a private lake, several ponds and 2 private mountain streams, reserved solely for fly fisherman. Here, between 1500 and 2000 meters above sea level, you will cast your lure into some of the cleanest waters in Austria by day, and enjoy Tirolean hospitality by night. A tourist fishing license is included, transportation between the fishing sites is available, and your daily catch will be cooked for you by our friendly hosts, or frozen for return to Baumholder. Even if you don’t fish, you will enjoy Galtür, known far and wide for it’s beautiful scenery, clean air, and easy access to hiking, biking, climbing, paragliding, and so much more. Father's Day Weekend is the perfect weekend to graduate from the local stocked ponds and fish farms! Reserve your space on this “reel” fishing trip with Baumholder Outdoor Recreation!
