Angling at Pancheshwar

Incidentally, for angling enthusuasts, Pancheshawr is nothing short of a paradise. River Kali is home to the famous Golden Mahaaseer with tremendous potential for excellent game. The only catch: you have to leave the big catches back, to where they belong !

During colonial days angling was a very popular pastime with the British and they called it the 'Great Game'. The Golden Mahasheer, a sporting fish, is found in large numbers in the rivers and lakes of Kumaon. Fishing is allowed in Ghat (Saryu River), Pancheshwar (confluence of kali and saryu), Jauljivi ( Confluence of Gori & Kali), Chuka ( Confluence of Ladhiya abd kali) and Boom (Sarda River) following a permission from the officer in charge of the area concerned.

Angling at Corbett

Ramnagar makes a fishing base camp. Coming from high mountains this river passes through the heart of the Park and debouches into the plains at Kalagarh. At Lohachaur, 15-kms north along the River Kosi, good anglers always have a chance of landing the legendary Mahseer, a redoubtable battling River Carp apart from Indian Trout and Goonch.

The rapids make the spoon, spinner and plugs quite invaluable, but the big monsters in the pool can be lured best by live bait.

A fishing permit is necessary and can be had at Dhikala. The shallows and back waters here are full of small fish. . .
