Kashmir
has been rightly called an angler's paradise, with
a network of rivers and streams as well as high
altitude lakes abounding in trout - both brown and
rainbow.
Kashmir's
fabled natural beauty needs no introduction. The
river Sindh & Lidder offer some of the finest
mountain river trout fish anywhere in the world
today providing a wild environment for trout, as
their waters are swollen during the summer by melting
glaciers. At this time they offer very demanding
spot, compelling the angles to fish deeply on the
edge of the rock strew torrent. A day spent beside
the river meandering through rugged bolder - strew
river, will forever remain of the memory.
