Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Besides saltwater fishing off the Andaman but more importantly the Lakshadweep islands. India is home to some six species of Mahseer. Of which the Himalayan Golden Mahseer (barbus tor putitira) is perhaps the most widely distributed and exciting to catch both on lure as well as on the fly. Especially as they are found in India’s Himalayas which stretch from India’s beautiful valleys of Jammu and Kashmir to India’s Arunachal Pradesh.
Additionally anglers can fish for various species of indigenous catfish such as Goonch, Mulley (Wallago attu), but also monstrous snakehead and even brown and rainbow trout, introduced in first in the rivers of Kashmir during the turn of the century.
The monsoons usually start in the end of June and end in the end of September leaving you with two of the best times for fishing in the Himalayas. One just before the monsoon and one just after the monsoons. Besides being a good but short window for Golden Mahseer fishing in the Himalayas, which is ideal for lure fishing.
Don’t miss it. Even though you’ll probably get some rain. Dropping and clearing waters are always good for fishing. Check out this itinerary.

Golden Mahseer
Golden Mahseer is the iconic carp/barbell that is native to the Himalayas. Furthermore, they are a bioindicator species, and just like the Bengal Tiger, they are also facing extinction due to habitat loss as a result of dams, river diversions, canals, and few fish ladders. Anglers around the globe are worried about the future of Golden Mahseer, but local participation and community initiatives, such as catch and release angling are bringing awareness among locals thanks to the internet and social media. We are hopeful that initiatives of organizations such as the Mahseer Trust, local forest departments, dedicated but overworked fisheries officers, local guides, and local, owner-run small business lodges, camps will continue to do the amazing work they were before the pandemic to ensure a further for these iconic fish.
