INDIANANGLER

I have just meet up with Dr Ashwath and Dr Jagdish and spoke on various points.

Earlier i had spoken with bops and now clear a few points.

They want us to form The lalbagh angling club, this will be under the auspious of the Dept. of horticulture. They will arrange to get all the clearences from the Karnatak Government. Few points we dicussed were the rules and regulations of the club etc etc. maybe a few of u could help me with this.

The felt that an entry fee of rs. 2000/- and daily fishing charges of rs. 150 and children under 15 free and above 17 to 21 rs.50. non members be charged rs. 300, will be okay.

brought up the point of CUPA and they said that they will handle the matter. we should have no problem with them.

The fees will be handled by them and as such we get to maintain part of the tank removal of plastics etc. I told them that we should ban the bringing of plastics and bottles in to the gardens.

dr. tells me that the source of water for the tank is not by ground water etc but rainfed and the `gully` water. this is treated with their green water plant. we should request them to put a part of this water into the tank.

dr. has permitted us to fish on thursday, to check the potential of the tank, after 10am. So, those of you are interested please reply on the indianangler. owen, i shall arrange a trip on sunday for serious anglers like u.

shall dicuss more in person.

Hi Guys,

Check this out. Lot's of errors but it's happening for sure. Thanks to Bobbee for making it work.

Owen where are the pics?

This article was in Sundays times.

C'mon Bangers !!! Show us wat u made off

The lake is on contract dude's. That means it is netted when the fish are the right size. Anyone wanting to fish there has to deal with the contractors. Same goes for almost every lake in the Bangalore vacinity.

This is why the Lalbagh lake will be a real boon to Bangalore anglers.
Do note, that the s**t is hitting the celing on this by environmental groups, even bird watching (the feathered kind for your info Gav) is being targeted.
So we all have our fingers and everything else crossed.
Meanwhile the park authorities seem pretty detirmined to go ahead, but whether they will be resiliant enough when faced with legal action, has to be seen.

Please leave a tank full of piranha or their closest variants for the environmentalists...will tilapia bite into a fat juicy PETA type?

Will help you clear the the tilapias sometime

Please contact Bobby, the Lalbagh authorities are looking for suckers to clean them out. I think netting would be a better solution.
Or just go to the waters edge and say "Come fishy" and they will follow you home.
Jokes aside guys, i have never seen so many Tilapia at one place in my life.
Regards
Owen

Lucky you Pran, clean waters , great fishing right in the middle of the city...great chance, go get em!

Not too sure about how clean the waters are Asif, the waters that enter the lake are from a sewage treatment plant and Bobbee and i were concerned to see some tilapia doing the back stroke in the adjoining waters of this lake that looked pretty crappy to me.
Really need to do some tests on the waters and those fish before anyone tries eating them.
Hey where's Fred and Bobby ?

Good to see you back Bobby

Thanks Owen, have been reading but not posting because of time constraints.

News just received, Freddie Mercury is in Durg !!

As anticipated the so called Bird Lovers have criticised the move to start fishing at lalbagh. Here is a newspaper excerpt.

All you ichthyologists out there, please come out with scientific back up to our endangendered mob in Bangalore to prove that C&R is NOT harmful and fishing will not effect bird life...
Thanks

Asif,

It's very hard to teach logic to the illogical.

Somone needs to write an article for the papers in retort.

The Pros to angling (as opposed to the cons)

Don't really blame them actually though I hate their holier than thou attitude.

But as long as there are fishermen who leave line, leaders and old hooks at the lake they have a point.

Leave no trace!!

A very valid point made M..

Incidently my favourite bird is the very common... seen every where in the North.... loved by everr Surd.... And is called the Tandoori Chicken.

PS : Love Peking Duck too

So how do you have your Peking Duck M?

On thin translucent pancakes.... crispy skin... lil cucumber.... a touch of plum sauce.... mmmmmm
