MAHSEER ANGLING

 
 

The fish in Indian Mythology

Vishnu whose preserving, restoring and protecting powers have been manifested to the world in varoious forms, called "Avatars". His divine attributes were embodied in the shape of human-animal combined forms, possessing great powers. These Avatars of Vishnu appeared either to correct great evil or to do great good on the earth. These incarnations are ten in number.The first of which is Matsya the fish

According to Hindu mythology the
universe is subject to a cycle of periodical destruction and thereafter-new creation. Before the latest creation of the present
universe, the four Vedas (the holy books from the mouth of the Supreme-Deity) remained drowned in the waters. It was necessary to get hold of them to instruct Brahma (The Creator) about the work of creation. Vishnu was therefore appointed to bring up the Vedas from the deep. He took the form of a fish (Matsya), descended into the waters and brought-up these sacred books
Come with us as we go after one of the most sought after fresh water fish "The Mighty Mahseer"
Found in the rivers of Southern India this fish will give any angler a pure adrenalin surge. Experience the explosive power of the first run and the exhilarating exhaustion felt on landing. Pristine forests and the camp atmosphere make this one experience you wont forget!!

Experience endless days of pure fishing paradise at prime locations where you search for fish among rocks, rapids and deep pools. The angler knows, you have cast your bait, the wait begins, you wait and wait maybe chat a bit and then ... with no warning your line gets tighter and tighter, you strike hard, you feel the weight on your rod it is moving slowly then faster, suddenly line is flying off your reel the rod is bent over all you can do is hold on, you are now down to half the line on your reel, you tighten the drag but the line is ripping off the reel faster now, what next you jam you thumb down onto the spool, ouch.. you get big time line burn!! You are praying and cursing at the same time now...... what next, experience it yourself with us.
