Fishing in the Waldviertel – Fishing Vacations Around Gutenbrunn

The Frauenwieser Pond – Fishing in the Heart of the Waldviertel’s Natural Beauty

The Frauenwieser Pond is situated in a landscape characterized by forests, meadows, and rolling hills. Its elevation and tranquil surroundings give the pond its distinctive Waldviertel character.

The market town of Langschlag describes the pond as an attractive spot for recreational anglers due to its biodiversity and water quality. At the same time, the Frauenwieser Pond is part of a well-equipped recreational facility. This makes it a great destination for couples and families where not everyone wants to fish.

The Frauenwieser Pond is particularly interesting for:

  • Carp Angler
  • Predatory Fish Angler
  • Catfish Angler
  • Non-predatory fish angler
  • Seniors and Older Anglers
  • Families with members who love fishing
  • Guests who would like to fish for several days in a row
  • Vacationers who want to combine fishing with other recreational activities

What kinds of fish are in the Frauenwieser Pond?

The 2026 Fishing Regulations list several species of non-predatory and predatory fish. As a result, the body of water offers a variety of opportunities for bottom fishermen, float fishermen, and predatory fish anglers.

The fish species listed in the fishing regulations include:

  • Carp
  • Pike
  • Zander
  • Catfish
  • Tench
  • various species of whitefish

Sturgeon and grass carp are protected year-round in the Frauenwieser Pond and must therefore be handled with special care and released immediately.

Current Stocking Measures

The market town regularly provides updates on stocking efforts. In March 2026, for example, 500 kilograms of two-year-old carp were stocked. Zander had already been stocked in November 2025. In addition, large quantities of carp were stocked in the fall of 2025.

However, a good fish population does not guarantee a catch. Weather, air pressure, water temperature, the time of year, fishing method, and experience all influence every day of fishing. For many anglers, this is precisely what makes this diverse body of water so appealing.
