Angling
We exercise the "catch and release system". Though boasting an abundance of fish species, it is for the mighty "Mahseer", a large fighting fish that India is best known for, in the fishing world.

Though anglers consider the Golden or Himalayan Mahseer ( Tor putitora ) as the main species available on the Ramganga, Saryu & Mahakali rivers, Goonch ( Bagarus bagarius ), a fresh water scavenger is also another species that thrives in these rivers.

Mahseer fishing tours are conducted on the Ramganga river in the periphery of Corbett National Park and higher reaches of the river. Fly-fishing and spinning the rivers offers great pleasure to the sportsman, who is called upon to pit his skill to outwit the mighty Mahseer.

Angling here is subject to permissions available from the forest department on advance notice.

Anglers will have to bring their own equipment. Local fishing guides, who are highly experienced are deputed with anglers. We provide transportation, camp equipment, packed or fresh meals and fishing gillees. One can use a few good pools in river Ramganga for Mahseer fishing. One can take morning and afternoon walks by the river for angling. The anglers are required to carry their own fishing gear.
