Mahseer Conservation Group – 10 Day Fishing, Wildlife and Cultural Trip, Northern India
Well another fishing season has started with a catch from Chris Elliott from Cambridgeshire of a magnificent 42lb Golden Mahseer, and a huge and very rare 60lb Goonch Catfish was the prize for Keith Elliott, Editor of Classic Angling Magazine. The group of 4 anglers along with their partners spent 6 days fishing the famous Ramganga River in Northern India and in addition to the big fish we managed to catch around 40 smaller Mahseer in the 1-6lb bracket. Even some of the ladies tried their hand at catching a Mahseer with success on the last day as they landed several small fish which was fantastic and a memory that will stay with them forever…
The group wanted to make the most out of their short trip to India so we were able to offer a 2 day Tiger safari in the Corbett National Park after the fishing and then a day trip to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort along with a bit of retail therapy for the ladies before flying back to the UK the next morning. The group really enjoyed their Indian experience and hopefully we’ll be seeing them again very soon on the river!
