Where to Fish
» Yamuna
Home
to both Redfin and Yellowfin Mahseers, the Dakpatthar beat also yields rare
Indian Trout, Mulley and Goonch catfish. Other likely spots for fishing
from here are the famous Tajuwala canal works (timing, timing) and Hathnikund.
Overnight trips to the Giri river are also some great fishing routes.
This area is also a birders delight- the Asan Barrage close by is home to
the rare Greater Crested Grebe, among many other waterfowl both resident
and migratory. Tributaries of the Yamuna- the Tonse, Pabbar and Giri rivers
are fisheries in their own rights.
The Giri is a famous springfed mahseer river and a long camping trek is
the best way to get to know this beat. The Tonse and Pabbar rivers are chock
full of brown trout in the upper reaches and are of the nature of large
freestone rivers with fast, deep pools with big, tough fish.
