Let me welcome you to the mighty river Danube with its reachness of predatory fish like zander, volga zander, asp, wels catfish, redfin perch & northern pike! With over 25 years of experience in Danube fishing, I look forward to providing you with an unforgettable fishing experience on the Danubian shore in the heart of Austria. I'll guide you to your targeted species. Get ready for an adventure - only 1 hour by car or 30 min by train left from Vienna! About the tackle: You decide if you want to bring your own fishing combo - rod, reel & mainline - or rent an OKUMA combo which suits to your targeted species perfectly (included in the guiding price). However, I always carry net, pliers, camera & measuring advice. Included in the guiding price, there is a tackle package of RAPALA lures, VMC hooks/terminal tackle & SUFIX leader line in a various worth depending on the chosen guiding. The certain package content will be adjusted to species, fishing conditions & spot choice. For zander jigging you could get e.g. 5 softlures & 5 jigheads plus snaps & fc leader. All the tackle of this package belongs to you, so you keep it in the end of the day. If you need more tackle (e.g. due to stucks or destroyings) you can choose for extra charge from my arsenal which I carry in the car on site (a price list is shown). You need extra... * the fishing registration of Lower Austria (20€/person; lasting for 30 days) * the fishing licence of the chosen water (10-50€/day/person; depending on the conditions & species different river sections with various prices will be fished) My service includes organizing both, but both are pass-through costs & need to be paid on site. Optional services: transfer, lunch packages, beverages, accomodation... I'm also ready 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. Questions? Special wishes? Let me know it!

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.
