MAHSEER, MOUNTAINS, TROUT AND TEMPLES
A unique guided fishing experience in the Himalayan foothills
28th April – 10th May 2012
The tour is based on “Andy Trewin’s Mahseer Diary”, which is the record of a group of friends spending 11 days fishing in an exquisite corner of Himachal Pradesh, Northern India. Scroll down to read Andy’s Diary.
A fantastic opportunity for fishing in a beautiful lake nature reserve (Maharana Pratap Sagar) and snowmelt rivers in the foothills of the Himalayas. We will also visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Dharamsala (home of the Dalai Lama) and the sunken Bhatu Temple. A chance to fish and experience the great diversity of Northern Indian cultures along with spectacular nature and mountain scenery. This is suitable for the naturalist angler and non-fishing partner, who can enjoy lounging around the pool, swimmings, birdwatching, walking etc
The tour will be based at Basunti Retreat and accompanied by our guide Andy Trewin, who has a wealth of experience in fishing this beautiful part of the world. We will be fishing for Golden Mahseer, Singhara, Sol (Spotted Murrel) and both Brown and Rainbow Trout.
Our Guide: Andy Trewin had represented the UK in the European Fly Fishing Championships 1994-1997. He is a keen fisherman, tackling the rugged coastline of West Wales where he currently lives, casting a fly on Salmon and Trout rivers in other parts of the UK and fishing the lakes and rivers of Northern India. Not leaving any part of his fishing to chance, Andy designs and ties his own flies, makes up rigs he uses for sea fishing and collects his own fresh bait from the local beaches.
Andy spent the last 10 years participating in fly fishing competitions as well as attending as many sea fishing competitions as time allows. He enjoys teaching and passing on as much knowledge as he can.
Availability: up to 6 rods – non-fishing parnters and children 16+ are welcome.
