Thanks Mahaseerken...there goes my dream of being lazy and having a place right next where I can fish....

Well, Wazirabad was one of the options given by one of my friends...will explore and post :)

Tc...MM

hahaahahahahaahahaa

Alibhai, I wish there were turtle there. The bubbles are most probably toxic gases being released from the muck underneath.

And anyway I have passed the Toitle Jinx to a good friend.

hmmmm... i wonder who this "good friend" is that you are referring to

So i went to the Bahti mines on Sunday . Went geared with carp tackle and a few spinners. There are 5 lakes in that place. Saw some huge carp in the first one and set up tackle early in the morning, and got quite a few nibbles. The lake is loaded with carp i think, didn't see much else. But, unfortunately before i could catch anything ( a good thing in hindsight) i heard some villagers discussing about how they wanted to catch us with fish, etc., so i quickly wrapped up my tackle and sweet talked my way out of trouble. Don't think it would have been so easy if i had in fact caught a fish !!!However, also got some useful info, because the villagers said that the second lake was a free lake, in which there was no issue to fish. Don't know if there are any fish in that, but definitely plan to check it out next time around.

MM want to accompany me for that next weekend maybe? Ken you on?

Hi Vikram,

Even I keep looking at the Yamuna barrage area as a nearby spot to hit. but the river is really bad, I have been to the Hindon barrage with just one catch in years. There are a lot of handliners who keep pulling fingerlings out. Have seen some fish there in the winter.
The bhatti mines seems like a good idea if the locals are okay. The first lake must be on contract and that is why they would want to beat the sh*** out of any angler. Would like to give it a try. Misplaced your number long ago, please to pm if you can.

Regards,

Dev

Hi Vikram,

I am game for it...and I hope there are more of us ( 4 to 5 atleast) :), hopefully should be able to manage the ppl there.

I will PM you my number.

hi could anyone please share the location of the second lake, bhatti mines on google map.

Hi,

Over this last week, I have spotted fish being sold over the Kalindi bridge. Some footlong I assume Rohu and a lot of small fish, the type you fry in batches. So it seems like the river has fish but no telling how lethal.

anybody planing to go???????????

Suggest anyone intending to go must pick up a permit, from somewhere near Majnu ka tilla

Damn this weekend was looking good but don't have the permit. Sam how about Hindon? That place normally has a tekedar who lets you fish with a permit for about Rs.10. It is normally safer.
