Angling could become a very enjoyable sport that
is if you've got plenty of time in hand and
loads of patience. This eco friendly sport is
not for those who run out of patience every time
they lose a fish or get tired for waiting for
their catch! Hardly any anglers round the world
have any idea that India makes a wonderful
paradise for anglers.
And why not! With the so many rivers, streams
there are numerous opportunities available for
anglers to opt for sport fishing and angling in
India. Beside the coastal areas, the foothill
region of the Himalayas in northern states of
India and the southern region of Nepal offer
numerous opportunities to catch fish especially
trout and Mahseer.
Whether you’re the type who likes to string a
worm onto a makeshift line and catch your own
dinner or a thoroughbred professional angler
with the latest in fishing tackle- India’s
waters, both fresh and salt, can be a pleasant
surprise.
Another kind of fishing related activity is
Angling that has important methods of
conservation. A good, healthy stock of fish is
not the only product of the conservation efforts
of anglers, waterside plants, insects, birds,
mammals and reptiles also get benefit of Eco
friendly sport. More of all angling or sport
fishing is quiet an easy sport for even a
beginner because most of major Indian cities lie
along rivers, that's why these cities become a favourite fishing spot for most of the anglers.
Most of the states in India have also organised
Fishing hatcheries, the breeding centers of
bothy local and exotic fishes. Fish sanctuaries
and hatcheries in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal
Pradesh, Uttaranachal have major flow, and
maintain a vast stock of fish, which are
specially bred for re-stocking rivers.

Angling & Fishing In Nepal
Maybe the regions of Nepal are not that known
when it comes to angling and sportfishing, but
if you hget a chance do bring your fishing rod
with your travel gear to Nepal. Some of the
popular fishing trips in Nepal are done in
Karnali, Babai valley in the Bardiya National
Park. Chitwan also hosts a number of places like
the confluence of Seti and Trisuli rivers on the
Tribhuvan Highway and also in the confluence of
Kaligandaki and Trisuli river.
Anglers can try their luck in the clear waters
of Pokhara’s lakes as well. While Phewa Tal
offers some good sport, there is considerable
activity and is not the ideal place for a quiet
day’s fishing. Begnas Tal and Rupa Tal are a
better bet. Get out there on any of several
local buses that start plying early morning or
bike your way there. You can hire a boat and go
out to some of the good spots in the lake.
