The area Salza Gschöder reaches from Presceny Klause to 200m below the „Bärenbach“ bridge. A respective board at the left-hand river side announces the end of the area which is 9km long and 30-40m wide.

In this area the river Salza is a Salmonid water every fisherman engaged in fly fishing can only be dreaming of, the more so as the river banks are easily accessible. In autumn, when the water level is low, long gravel beds jut out of the water, which makes fishing for graylings, the dominant fish in this area, most agreeable.

Also Charles Ritz had known this area very well and it is not without reason that he considered it one of the best grayling areas all over the world. The fish stock of the river Salza Gschöder comprises 70% of graylings, 20% of brown trout and 10% of rainbow trout. The fishing tackle admissible is the fly rod with artificial fly. The popular day licenses are only available in very restricted number, moreover, on previous reservation only.

It is compulsory to have an official fishing- or guest license for Styria.
