Our Legacy: Christopher Oldmeadow and the Spirit of Mahseer Fishing India
Mahseer Fishing India isn't just a company; it's the living legacy of a man who found his true calling in the heart of the Himalayas. My father, Christopher Oldmeadow, born in Great Britain in 1951, embarked on an adventure that would define his life and immerse him in the vibrant fishing traditions of this country.
In 1977, Christopher arrived in India and, like so many who come to this diverse and vibrant land, he fell deeply in love – not just with the culture, but with the thrill of its rivers and the majestic fish that inhabit them. For nearly 30 years, his life was intertwined with the pursuit of the Himalayan Golden Mahseer, a species he revered and dedicated himself to understanding and protecting. He wasn't just a fisherman; he was an ardent conservationist, a guide, and a storyteller whose passion for the Mahseer was infectious.
Continuing the Dream: Harry Krishan Oldmeadow
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of my father Christopher's passing in 2025. His absence leaves a profound void, not just in our family, but in the Mahseer fishing community he helped cultivate. As Harry Krishan Oldmeadow, his son, I am now tasked with the immense privilege and responsibility of continuing his legacy here at Mahseer Fishing India.
My father built something truly special – a company founded on deep respect for nature, unparalleled expertise, and a genuine desire to share the magic of Mahseer fishing with the world. I know I have big shoes to fill, but I am committed to upholding his values, pushing his vision forward, and giving my absolute best to ensure Mahseer Fishing India continues to offer the extraordinary, authentic, and responsible angling experiences my father championed. We invite you to join us as we honor Christopher's memory and embark on the next chapter of this incredible journey.
