Awesome report! Thanks for sharing.
[quote kochanut]We thought the same tng about the Brooke's. The Austrians call them char.

I don't think you were catching brookies and the Austrians were correctly calling them char. I think they were indeed Arctic char. From Behnke's "Trout and Salmon of North America" pg.309,
"In Europe, the Southernmost natural distribution of the Arctic char occurs in Alpine lakes in drainages tributary to the Rhine, Rhone, and Danube rivers."
The Danube goes through Austria.
