A jewel runs through the Bavarian Alps
The upper reaches of the Isar river are one of the last wild river landscapes in Europe. The upper river in the so-called "Isar angle" below Sylvenstein reservoir is one of the most beautiful flowing river sections of Bavaria with breathtaking scenery, wide gravel banks and clean water - ideal for fly fishing! The rainbow trout stock can be described as good but brown trout occur as well. Prime fish species however is the grayling, whose existence is gratifying constant thanks to year-round protection. Caddis, mayfly and stonefly imitations, terrestrials and streamers lead to success in the variety of classic riffles, runs and pools of the mostly natural river course. For guest fishermen there are 2 river sections available - 17 km in total length. Day permits are issued under the condition to stay overnight in the community of Lenggries. Best time to fish is early May to mid July and then especially the fall from early September to mid-November. In mid summer, the fishing action is unfortunately disturbed by (too) many raft, kayak and boat drivers as well as bathers. In general conditions must match because excessive rainfalls - unfortunately not uncommon - lead to prolonged blur of the here otherwise crystal clear river.
