The undisputed king of the game fishes in India is the Mahseer. Literally translated, Mahseer means 'Great Head', a suitable name for the muscled creature known to be the toughest fighter amongst fresh water fish.  

There are many kinds of Mahseer, but there is only one kind of Golden Mahseer- the Barbus Tor Putitora and it lives only along the Himalayas- from Himachal in the West to Assam and Arunachal in the East.

There are two ways to go about catching Mahseer- the first is to land up at a perpetually baited pool full of fish that can be whistled up. The other is to head for parts where the fish are still wild, cautious and challenging. At certain times and locations, getting into a wild Mahseer can be reasonably easy. Outside of these times, it's a matter of waiting for the fish to show an interest in your efforts.
Mahseer fishing is a state of the mind where we expect grand surroundings, great water and some serious fish. Whether you'd like to catch many mahseer or just big mahseer or even other fish, we have the location and advice if you have the time. Experts can expect quality fishing time in un-spoilt locations chasing specimen size fish while novices can expect a fruitful initiation into the game. Fishing with us ensures there will always be space for sporting anglers who do not want to kill Mahseer.

As fishing guides, we know where, how and when to catch the what. As conservators, we know what we are doing will keep it that way and even improve the situation at hand.
