A myth is over.
Probably someone of us, has read something about this famous stretch of water in the beautiful Salza Valley - Austria; it was one of the finest flyfisher jewel in the past decades...when graylings over 50 cm. were really common during a fishing party.
Every year is getting worse than worse, but the crazy due to cast a line in there remain overpriced, rather than quality of fishing. Probably a good marketing to sell more daycards. This remain the best "fly" to catch anglers from all Europe.
At my age numbers are not the main goal; I like to fish with beauty around, spending a lovely day in a "pristine" valley. I used to fish every autumn and every year there; without any doubts the river is totally changed.
Little rainbows and browns are the pattern of the day. Some tin View more...A myth is over.

Little rainbows and browns are the pattern of the day. Some tiny grayling are the 5% of the day catches. Probably a bad management had built this "holiday" concept, or probably nature has done the rest. They say "fish-otter" problems, they say many other reasons, but every fisherman met in there has the same opinion: the good old days are over.
What remain about it?
Beyond of any doubt you can fish without crowd in this beautiful and historic tail-water, but put in your mind that the marketing makes every dream comes true;))
