Our Commitment to Golden Mahseer Conservation: Catch and Release

We are deeply committed to the conservation of the magnificent Golden Mahseer and its pristine Himalayan habitat. Our fishing trips are conducted with the utmost respect for the species and the environment, strictly adhering to catch and release principles.

Here's how we ensure responsible angling and contribute to Mahseer conservation:

• Gentle Handling: Our guiding emphasizes safe handling techniques, ensuring the fish remains in the water as much as possible and is supported properly when out for a quick photo.

• Quick Release: Fish are returned to the water swiftly, minimizing stress and maximizing their chances of survival.

• No Fish Kept: Absolutely no Mahseer are kept or harmed during our trips.

• Respect for Habitat: We maintain a leave-no-trace policy, ensuring our presence has no negative impact on the river ecosystems.

By practicing these safe angling techniques, we aim to preserve the Golden Mahseer populations for future generations and ensure sustainable sport fishing in Himachal Pradesh.

This ensures that your journey to the pristine waters for Himalayan Golden Mahseer fishing is as smooth and efficient as possible, maximizing your valuable time on the river.

Best Seasons for Golden Mahseer Fishing

The prime seasons for targeting Golden Mahseer in Himachal Pradesh are:

• Pre-Monsoon Season (March to mid-June): As the weather warms and the rivers flow with snowmelt, the Mahseer become increasingly active.

• Post-Monsoon Season (August to mid-November): After the monsoon rains, the rivers clear, and the Mahseer are actively feeding in preparation for the colder months.

Winter Fishing Considerations: During the winter months, Golden Mahseer tend to restrict their feeding. While river fishing can be challenging due to low water temperatures, fishing in lakes and reservoirs can still be productive as the water temperature in these larger bodies of water tends to remain more stable.
