PS: IG what you think about fishing conditions around mid-December at Bhakra? Can one expect a decent size mahseer at that time of the year?

Kanwar!

Check a thread tittled Winter mahseer. Fishing is good as long as you get the right depth and more importantly if the fish are biting.

Thanks Ken,

Hope I also get lucky...

Good,

The freshwater meet is long overdue.

Wish I could also join but the saltwater meet is also in November.

Just one suggestion, as this is a meet organized through IA forum, the name should be changed. You can name it Abhik Gupta Memorial IA meet. Ask the water god if he has any suggestions.

Regards,

Ali.

Hi Ali Bhai,

Many an angler in the Delhi region knew Abhik Gupta or Dada as he was known and all most all of the are registered on IA. Dada spent all his time on the water and not on the net, therefore he never registered on IA, though I'm sure he would if he ever sat down in front of a pc!

Check out this thread while you are at it...

Dear IG,

I have heard about Dada and I respect him as an acomplish angler. I do not have any objection that this meet be named after him. My only point as you can see from my post was that add IA name.

If this meet is organised a bit later, I too would like to join you guys.

Regards,

Ali..

Would it be ok, if i attended a day or so?

Too early to commit as of now.

For sure Sam, its a hop skip n jump from Paragpur... its more of a fun meet, and the rules only apply to the ice box containing the beer!!!

I will definitely attend such meet in the next year.

Cheers,
Apoo

Apoo, you are welcome to come this year and next and the one after that too...

Hi Dhruv,

Thanks for the gestures. If the meet was atleast two months after the mumbai meet, I would have definitely met up with you guys. If I attend the meet, I will have to stay away from my wife for atleast 6-12 months as mandatory divorce procedures. And later who wants to pay alimony when the same amount can be used on fishing trips.

Cheers,
Apoo

Apoo!

I am sold on your alimony argument. Yup! Why pay it when you can spend it on fishing.

So how many participants have we ended up with? Gypsy, how about an updated list?

Hey make it IA competition for north if you guys have a nice count…. Appreciate your efforts. Game on guys!!!!!

Dunno about the nice count. only 5 people signed up so far...

Yeah... nudge the rest... We can call it (at least) half of India in this competition. You can make friend. Rock On!!!!

Hey Dhruv,
It's been a long time,make it 6,Ken I am in...what about Vijay & Lalaji ?...KC aka Kapil good to see you on IA

best

Hello Guys,

Quick question... is it all right for me to let people, not a member of IA about the meet?

Thanks a ton.
