Angling & Fishing in India
With a vast stretch of coast line and numerous rivers, streams & lakes flowing through the country, India presents excellent opportunity for the anglers. From big to small, all kinds of prey can be caught depending on the luck of the anglers. The water houses a large number of fishes that are a delight for the anglers.
Two of the most important catch for anglers in India are Masheer and Trout. Masheer are known for the fierce resistance they present when caught. The weight of the Masheer is also great with over 100 pounds (more than 45 kgs), hence the force of resistance is also tremendously enhanced. The catchers have to be extremely alert so as to prevent any untoward incident. Great skills and strong determination along with a physical strength are the fundamental requirement for catchers.
As for trouts, they are found abundantly in fresh waters of the rivers and lakes. Skill and intelligence are excessively important for fishing the trout.
As per Indian laws, angling in India needs to be carried out and enjoyed keeping in mind the conservation of the marine life simultaneously. It is mandatory for anglers to leave the fish back into the water after having caught, weighed and photographed it. This is little disappointing for some people, however, adventure activity cannot be enjoyed at the expense of conservation efforts.
In India, there are many places to enjoy angling and fishing activity, and tours are also arranged especially keeping in mind such interests. Since all the major cities of India are located on the banks of rivers, there is also no need to search a great deal for an angling destination.
