Seeforelle are feeding hard before the spawn and positioned in the upper 5m at dawn and dusk. Intermediate line with streamer or large nymph. Fish near drop-offs and rocky points where Renken congregate.
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

A classic alpine trout and grayling box. Nymphs, dry flies and streamers all belong, with the season often starting later in alpine regions.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
The cable car does most of the climbing for you. Char and lake trout live here, and the season is squeezed into late June to early October. You fish from the shore — not from the floating jetty, which belongs to the walkers — and it is not a fly-only water. Weather at this height changes its mind quickly, so treat any fine afternoon as a gift and have a layer in the bag.
No EEA WISE 2022 water body within 2 km (checked 2026-09-14) — lakes this small are generally not reported under the WFD.
All grayling must be returned — retention is prohibited here.
Within the lake season (Fischereiverein Lech). Very short ice-free window at ~2,160 m.
At about 2,160 metres Zürsersee is the highest lake you can fish around Lech Zürs, and it looks it: a small, cold tarn under the Seekopf that spends much of the year frozen and the rest of it being admired by hikers.
