Alpine fly fishing in Switzerland- fly fishing the Grimsel and Susten region (Bernese oberland)

Near Meiringen, in the heart of the Swiss alps you'll find the most beautiful clear creeks and small rivers as well as nice alpine lakes.

Due to a hard and long wintertime, fish grow up here slowly. But in the summertime, they rise eagerly all the day long to take the abundant beetle, grasshoppers and other land insects which land on the water surface.

High casting skills are necesssary to fish the small pools in stronger currents. In the slower parts, fish are very shy and you have to approach the fish carefully.

Nevertheless, we promise you will enjoy the flyfishing for these native and wild fish.

We recommend for the first time a professional Guiding by Swissflies guiding services.

They will show you how and where to fish and have access to some of the most beautiful waters.
