Extremely shy and very cautious, as well as picky about the food it prefers, a missed bite rate of 1:4 and a fight right into the net, that’s how I would describe the Mahseer.
A fishing area for madmen and absolutely persistent anglers.
Arrival and departure are unique and quite lengthy. But the accommodation was very nice and almost luxurious.
The accommodations were right on the river and everyone had their own bathroom.
The food was simply incredibly delicious and a mixture of Indian, Chinese and European dishes.
There was also cold beer and lots of chai.
The service in the Indian part of the Himalayas and the friendliness associated with it are phenomenal.
We felt completely at home in this magical place and had contact with fish every day from day 1.
Technically unspectacular fishing, but it goes into the finer details and requires very, very good and detailed knowledge of the water.
Above all, you need to have faith in your choice of spot and the right choice of bait.
Casting for hours at a time in the same spot also requires stamina and good fitness.
2-3 sessions of 3-4 hours of concentrated fishing spread over the day are certainly the most effective.
We usually fished from 5.30-8.30 a.m.,
then again from 12-2 p.m. and from 3.30-6 p.m.
Almost all the good fish came in the evening or at lunchtime. We could have saved ourselves the trouble of getting up early. But we would have missed the great atmosphere on the river.
Breakfast after 3 hours of whipping artificial bait for maximum range was just as important as the subsequent nap with a view of the river.
