central india is a place worth exploring and is now in my mind for some spring action ... looking for decent size rivers to hold the big ones ... narmada upstream high up, some rivers in the chatisgarh state, and the chambal when it comes into rajasthan... wont fish in MP Chambal even with an AK strapped on my back ...

any one with information - write in.

The search for gold in central india 2008.

The Narmada should be good for some redfin mate!

Hi BG...

The Chambal has some serious silund fishing.... gotta go there with local support or a T 72!!!

Try the area around Pench... good sized red fins there!

will ask around and try to get you some info...

Hi,
we fished Chambal for silund and Mahseer last summer . Gandhisagar dam is one good place . The mahseer and silunds will only take when the turbines are working. We with all our tactics and the turbines not running -still got atleast 1 mahseer each. I moved out on a inflatable below G S Dam and though u can see big mahseer roam freely -they will not take till turbines are turned on . Beware there are a lot of crocs there and upto 15 ft in length.They blow the siren before they release water.From the bridge u can see shoals of mahseer below. Ur boat will at places get stuck on top of rocks -and u have to get down and push -and with the crocs around-it is gut wrenching .
Up the Chambal from Kota is again a massive lake with great potential. All lagoons and pools hold good Sol .U can use live frogs Since there are atomic / thermal power plants there,all over on the chambal the security is high. Hope this will help .......Cheers...Ham

Yes i have seen this happen just once on the Kaveri. If i remember correctly it was late in the month of May.
