This photo shows the Dorneter Curve at a water level of 170 cm. You see here the beautiful, and typical, water color of the Ager which has its origin in the Attersee, the largest lake in Austria. Because of the low water temperature, the Ager is now still gin-clear. The confluence of the so-called “dry” Aurach is still flooded, and a mid-stream current rages in the Ager. Now the trout take their positions at the edge of the waters entering from the dürre Aurach. The fishing is now very difficult here, and even experts have a real challenge.

The Hessenberger Weir at a level of 170 cm.

Below the dam one can still wade the Ager, but, to be sure, not very far. Fly fishing with the regulation-required dry flies is not easy at this water level, and only the most skilled will be successful. Above the dam great care is required because of the strong current.

The Regauer Curve at the 170 cm. water level.

One can still see the shoreline boulders, and fly fishing along the banks is possible. Streamers and nymphs are preferred under this condition.

In this picture we see the dam below the big Ager bridge between Regau and Vöcklabruck. At this water level you can risk a few casts with a streamer here too. But the overhanging branches leave the fly fisher little room for a back cast. The danger of snags is also great because of the submerged wood. Beginners should avoid this spot at this water level.
