Hi Mahaseeken
I fully agree that each fish has something different to offer but still one has his own preferences. Like whenever given an opportunity, i would always go for lure fishing( trout and mahseer to be more precise). Actually i needed this data for an article that i intend writing. How can we make this poll more fair? Any suggestions.

And for the turtle thing!!! THOUSEND APPOLOGIES. it was a big mistake.
Cheers

Sualeh Sahib,

Is the article for the PGFA?

As you know Im a lure fishing fanatic, so my top five would be trout, mahseer, singhara, mulley and sowl.

Any reports about the situation at Marala? I have an old friend who once caught a fifteen pound mulley on a plug there.

I have never caught a mahaseer, But a lot of Rohus, mrigal and a few catlas. I am not sure which one i should vote for. [

Am i the only one so far who voted for trout???? Is trout not a popular gamefish or lot many anglers do not get an opportunity to catch trout???

Sualeh, if we had trout accessible like you do, I would have voted for trout. Unfortunately not all of us are lucky to have locations as nice as yours. As Mken has said, this is not a fair poll due to location restrictions.

I voted trout.

As Sualeh Sahib mentioned, its the whole experience of trout fishing that makes it wondeful, trout always happen to live in beautiful places!

To be fair though the fight of a mahseer is the best their is and singharas and mulleys are great to catch on lures. In fact I'd prefer to catch a twenty pound mulley than a five pound trout.

Thats indeed a good preference Ali but not really fair. I would also like to catch a 20 lb fish of any specie as compared to 5 lb specimen of another. Hope you got my PM.
Cheers

Not really, I'd prefer to catch a 5 lb. trout than 20 lb. common carp or even a 20 lb. rohu.

Hi..


As far as the the thrill of fishing is concerned, every and any catch is worth it. Can not single out any one fish on that count.
But, I voted for Murrel..maily because, it tastes great and can go to the pots legally...

Ok a bit biased, being a carp fan but I still have to go with the Mahseer. Never knew a carp could run with that much drag on a reel! Also basing this on it's aesthetics, game, growth potential and adulation received over the century.

Hie Michaelaga, may vote for trout/mahseer/mulli/murrel/goonch then. they are all caught on spinners/plugs.
Cheers

Dont forget singhara!

Call me a blasphemer, but I enjoy casting and trolling(especially casting) lures to singhara and mulley almost as much as spinning for mahseer...
