Angling is not a new sport in India, but of late, it is catching up to be one of the most popular way of relaxation for tourists who are interested in nature and wilderness. Since time immemorial, India has been famous among travellers because of its diverse landscape and culture. The sub-Continent, right from the mountains of the Himalayas in the north, to the tropical lushness of Kerala in the south , is home to innumerable fast flowing rivers and streams that are home to some of the richest cold water fish & fauna, including world famous Mahaseer, array of cat fishes and trout. Each year a large number of anglers both from home and abroad visit this region in the pursuit of angling and practice age old techniques with varied degrees of success!!

In North India, the presence of rivers like Ramganga, Chambal, Kali, Saryu, Tons, Sarda, Mandal and snowfeds like Alaknanda, Bhagirathi, Yamuna, Beas and the Sutlej offer great angling opportunities. One can chase the Yellowfin Mahseer at the foothills of the Himalayas, grapple with the Giant Catfish or bag the various species of trout. In South India, the omnipresent Cauvery throws up surprises like coracle rides and white water rafting, apart from species like the Humpback Mahseer and Carnatic Carp.
