I caught this little fish on my last trip to malvalli. A perfect morning with strikes coming at regular intervals and this fish whacked my spinner and headed for a clump of submerged roots. It was a thrill to see it dart after my spinner and grab it.

Guess they all don't have to be big.....

Another beautiful bluefin Akshay!
Did you take it on a Mepps pattern spinner ?
Anyone have luck on Toby's for Masheer ?
By the way, is it possible to get membership to fish the stretch in malvalli ?

Hi MM,

I will remember this fish for my life time as this was the first Mahseer I saw. That fishing trip really got me totally into this sport.
I still remember the actions I had on that trip.

She's a beauty...what a fish!!

Hi Rustam,
They are found all over the Cauvery. I've caught them in malvalli and on the Galibori stretch.

This is a little Golden chap from Croc Rocks using ragi.



Another little chap from malvalli caught on spinner.



I guess the colours are more saturated/magnified on smaller fish. I had one of a small black (really black) mahseer as well which I can't find.

Hi MM,

Never saw a Mahseer of that size again, also just can't get over the walk we had for a local soft drink after Belli caught this small fellow.

Hi MM,

Super pictures, the the closeup of the silver mahseer, there is a rock at the back with some white growth on it. Does anyone know what that growth is?

Hi Owen,

The last update I received from the malvalli Wildlife Society was that memberships were being given only to Coorgs owning property in malvalli. This was implemented recently. However guest charges are very minimal so you could team up with any of the old members for a trip.

Two from a mornings fishing. Both different !
