Amour-clad with the largest-scales on a freshwater-fish. But also fin-to-body ratio and slick outer-body slime makes the iridescent Golden Mahseer – the fish of dreams! It’s highly evolved lateral-line has evolved with the youngest mountain-ranges in the world, the Himalayas. Predicting and detecting hazards as much as landslides. But also food – as little as a freshwater-crab. Sucking-it instantly with it’s vacuum-like mouth.
Their physical features and habitat are as fascinating as the ancient land they are found in.
The fish of a 1001 casts! Golden Mahseer made their way into the hearts of generations of anglers since the turn of the century. Anglers who threw-out a challenge to their every-day life answering “the call to adventure” through the lens of the Golden Mahseer.
A journey certainly not for the faint-hearted. A pilgrimage into Golden Mahseer habitat is one that must be planned quite intensionally.
This mystical fish of legends can play quite hard to get while holding right in front of you, in sometimes gin-clear water. You will try to seduce her with your offerings, but she will wait for you to get it ‘just right’ before she takes a bite.
Devotees of notoriously finicky-fish like Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon, Tarpon, Milkfish, Permit and Carp would bring the right set of exceptions to Golden Mahseer fishing.
