Fishing on lake Wolfgangsee
The man
and the lake
Bernhard Ebner and lake Wolfgangsee - they simply belong together. So don’t be surprised if you see him early in the morning in the summer, shipping out onto the lake with the traditional “Traunderl”. For over fifty years, the lake has been Bernhard Ebner’s seasonal workplace. From May to October, as long as the restaurant is open, he is out almost every day, casting his nets and ensuring that there is fresh fish from lake Wolfgangsee in the Fuerberg kitchen.
Fishing history of Fürberg Bay
There used to be more than 40 fishing rights on the lake; today, only two remain.
Bernhard’s ancestors gradually acquired the fishing rights over several generations, making it possible to manage the fishery in a way that takes the preservation of the fish population into account.
Responsible fishing in Fürberg
Only around one third of the lake’s total surface area of approximately 450 hectares is fished today, helping to preserve the delicate balance of its sensitive ecosystem. The results speak for themselves: the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wolfgang boast excellent water quality, which is regularly monitored and officially confirmed.
