(Fly) fishing in the rushing Passirio/Passer river
Tight lines!
Experienced fishers have long known that the Passirio/Passer river, with its mysterious pools, fast currents, and leisurely waters with a gravel bottom, is the best place for fishing and fly fishing. Trout galore can be found here. It is no coincidence that the Quellenhof became famous for Grandma Resi’s freshly caught and deliciously seasoned blue trout.
