Angling
We exercise the "catch and
release system". Though boasting an abundance of fish
species, it is for the mighty "Mahseer", a large fighting
fish that India is best known for, in the fishing world.
Mahseer fishing tours are conducted
on the Ramganga river in the periphery of Corbett National
Park and higher reaches of the river. Fly-fishing and
spinning the rivers offers great pleasure to the sportsman,
who is called upon to pit his skill to outwit the mighty
Mahseer.
Angling here is subject to
permissions available from the forest department on
advance notice.
Anglers will have to bring
their own equipment. Local fishing guides, who are highly
experienced are deputed with anglers. We provide transportation,
camp equipment, packed or fresh meals and fishing gillees.
One can use a few good pools in river Ramganga for Mahseer
fishing. One can take morning and afternoon walks by
the river for angling. The anglers are required to carry
their own fishing gear.
Cost per guide for full day:
Rs.1200. Vehicle hire: Rs.3000 for full day. Fishing
permit: Rs.200 per rod per day.
