Fly Fishing For Trout In the Himalayas
One of India's premier trout runs - a stretch of the
Baspa river deep in the Himalayan range - provides
the perfect angling environment. The fish are plentiful
and the river offers some great and unexplored beats. It
is most definitely a trout angler's paradise. The Himalayas
in India is a great place to come for a fishing holiday.
Most people don't hear about all this and the main reason
for that is their lack of exploration. We sent our sport-
fishing experts to this area for a study of the fishing
potential and to our surprise they came up with some
fantastic results.
In just three days fishing the river they came to the
conclusion that this river could offer some spectacular
fishing action. Enough to convince us to set up a sport
fishing camp over here!
Our campsite on the river Baspa is renowned for sport fishing
trout. Both brown and rainbow trout. The fast waters offers
great sport on spinners and there are beats for the serious
fly anglers too. Dry flies are recommened there and you
don't have to wait for long.
The river Baspa is stocked by a large trout hatchery. Smaller
trout are rarely caught and the excitement of landing something
big is always there.
The crystal clear waters, the silence of the hills and the gentle breeze
blowing through the trees are just the right combination to stimulate
an angler. The trout usually landed are a good two to three pounds.
The right time to come for fishing the trout in this area is either in March
and April or in October. The snow in this area doesn't stay for too long
and the weather is perfect for the trout to strike.
The thrill in playing a specimen trout in such an environment has a charm of
its own. A few kilometers from Sangla there are a lot of other unexplored beats,
offering and variety of fish. These streams are paradise for a trout angler.
The thrill of it all is having a big one swallow your fly - leaving you gasping
in excitement. The trout here are strong and big, offering the complete
angling thrill.
We love this sport and have a great deal of respect for it and that's one
reason why we ourselves experience the beats where our guests fish by
virtually trying everything to guarantee good results.
Good fishing, everybody. For free and expert guidence
