Kashmir is
one adventure sport that has universal appeal. Tourists can
enjoy the pleasure of fishing in the streams and lakes of
Kashmir. Pahalgam is one of Kashmir's important fishing
retreats. The water bodies in area are rich in trout.
Though one requires a permit to go fishing, the
experience can be a once in a lifetime experience. This
region is aptly known as a paradise for fishing enthusiasts.
The streams and lakes have plenty of brown and rainbow
trout.
Fishing on the high altitude lakes can be a learning
experience. Fishing on the Dal Lake is an interesting
activity. In fact local guides accompany amateur fishing
enthusiasts on Shikaras and teach them how to net fishes.
Fishing on the Jhelum River is also a popular activity.
Fishing
in the Lidder Valley The Lidder Valley is a fisherman's
dream - pure mountain air, serene tranquility and
bountifully populated waters. The Lidder River feeds the
entire region of lush meadows and magnificent clear lakes
with a series of tributaries and streams, all of which teem
with rainbow and brown trout. The best time for fishing
stretches from April to September, and the best spots are
recorded by locals, so we always know where to head to find
the best fishing beets.
