Let me welcome you to this pike paradise for enjoying spin & fly fishing deluxe! Only 1 hour drive from Vienna! BITE WARRANTY - Get at least 1 bite or receive 50% of the fishing licence as cashback! To ensure an action-packed fishing with aggressive attacks… * pike fishing in this water is only allowed for guiding guests, * the amount of pike fishing days per season are strictly limited & * there is a closed period of at least 2 days before your booked guiding trip for fishing a completely untouched water. Be prepared for heavy fights against fish until over 1 meter & over 10 kg but also watch baby pikes chasing the lures. All fish are wild, so you don't fish for stocked fish. Every guest receive his own rental fishing kayak: POLESTAR Freedom 10.8 or POLESTAR Polar 9.9. Both models are super stable due to their extra wide design, so you can stand up and fish easily. All kayaks are equipped with a comfortable chair and a foot pedal drive so you can move the kayak with your feet while you have free hands for the fishing. You decide if you want to bring your own fishing tackle or rent it for free. If you bring it by yourself you will receive a check list before the guiding. If you want to rent it, you get all the needed rental tackle for free: a spinning combo, a lure box filled with softbaits, chatterbaits, bladed jigs and more, pike-safe leaders, terminal tackle and so on. However you never have to bring pliers or a net as I always provide them. The water body * private oxbow of river Danube * crystal clear water * slight current * 1-2 m deep * structure of weed & sunken trees Possible extra services: transfer, lunch packages, beverages... I'm also open for multi-day-guidings on different waters for certain species. Just let me know so I can offer individual tours to realise your favorite trip.

Guide

Johannes Höfner

Operator since 2018
From an early age, I was captivated by the thrill of fishing on the River Danube with my granddad. Over the years, my passion evolved exclusively into spin fishing, taking me on exciting adventures across various countries and continents, mastering both saltwater and freshwater environments. As a proud Rapala/VMC/Okuma prostaff member since 2018, I’ve honed my skills and deepened my expertise. In 2021, I took a significant step forward by managing my own fishing waters, where the low fishing pressure ensures thriving fish populations that grow naturally without regular stocking. Now, I'm excited to share these pristine waters and my wealth of spinning experience with you. Let's embark on a fishing adventure targeting pike, trout, zander, and more! Join me for an unforgettable experience and let’s reel in some fantastic catches.
