FISHING
IN INDIA
Mahseer Fishing
We
are pleased to be able to offer Mahseer magic an
opportunity to tackle the tiger of the mountain
Rivers imagine a barbel but 50lb average weight and
you have the most powerful adversary on any river in
any location on the planet.
Our
exclusive stretch is the private preserve of the
Indian Royalty. A fully staffed camp with all
facilities is situated alongside the river. Our
guide Subhan (who you may remember from John
Wilson’s fishing trips to India) will ensure that
you have the best possible chance to tackle one of
these mountain monsters. The prince himself a
fisherman has taken fish of 107lbs from this stretch
and last year one of his guests had one of 103lbs
and 86lbs on the same morning.
This
is hard fishing and involves fishing fast water
cutting through deep gorges and ravines. You can
even fish the famous Mekadatu, the goats leap rock
where the river funnels into a raging torrent, to
land a fish here is truly an achievement.
Our
14 – day trip take a maximum of 7 anglers plus 1
escort, places will be allocated on a first come
first served basis. The season runs through January
to march, there will be 5 trips only during this
period.
There is normally at least one
local guide for every 2 visitors.Suhban, the head
guide (and some say river God) is in charge offering
excelent advice, and even the most experienced
anglers need advice and you will welcome his help
and opinion he takes his job very seriously indeed.
The two main sections are fished every day. The
morning lasts from first light until midday and then
from 4 o'clock until nightfall. The afternoons are
just to hot to be out in.
Bait is generally Ragi Paste,
freshwater crabs and livebaits are the main ones
used, It is always worth spinning or plugging and we
have caught fish on fly using large Tarpon flies.
You will be invited to a pre-trip
get together and get a feel for what you will need.
