Sport Fishing is also gaining popularity in Nepal. There
are approximately 118 varieties of fresh-water fish in
the Himalayan Rivers ranging from the much sought after
mahseer to the Mountain stream trout-like varieties. The
best season to go fishing on the white waters is before
and after the monsoon from February till April and
October and November.
Some popular fishing areas are Karnali, Babai in
Bardiya, Chitwan’s river confluences. Dolalghat, on
Kodari Highway and Pokhara’s lakes. Boats, fishing rods
and tackle are available on hire. Fishing is all the
more fun in mountain streams. In the Terai river waters
large catfish, murel and carp are found in abundance.
There are agencies in Kathmandu that organize fishing
trips to streams around the Valley. |
