Fishing at the Irrsee - possible all year round
-----------------------------------------------

The small, protected lake with its large, also protected shore marshes offers a variety of fish species such as carp, tench, pike, zander, whitefish and bream.

Angling for vendace, trolling for pike and catfish.
 Bottom fishing - the muddy bottom is best suited for carp, tench and bream.
 The Irrsee is purely a hobby fishing lake, there are no professional fishermen.

With daily or weekly licences you can also buy a boat ticket - but without an e-motor.

**The best fishing spots:** On the eastern shore of the Irrsee (by the public bath) when there is no bathing activity yet, i.e. early in the morning or late in the evening in summer. Promenade in Zell am Moos, public bath Zell am Moos as well as at the other baths (e.g. in Laiter).

**Fishing tip:** On the south shore of the lake - near Hotel Pöllmann there is a reed bed which is a good fishing spot for carp. Damage to reeds, rushes or water plants must be avoided at all costs!
