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.
