Hi every one.

Can you advice below things if someone know?

1)Good spots for rainbow trout near Dehradun
2)Where to get fishing permission and how much?
3)Is there any good spots for rainbow trout more easier to access from Delhi as compared to Dehradun?

Trout fishing is limited to the Tirthan (about 20-30 kms off the mail highway from Aut) and a few places or in Barot and a few other places. Nahan & Solan have no fishing in my knowledge.

Ashok ji, Thank you again.

I have one doubt.

Tirthan is name of city or area like Tirthan valley?

I know the name like Tirthan valley and Tirthan river.

Internet is only way to collect informartion for me and as per web information daily license costs Rs. 100 per person per fishing rod at Tirthan valley.

Do you know whether this informatoin is correct?

I think you have been there several time.

Can you advice place where one can get license.

Aso whether license can be bought easily on same day of fishing or one has to ask agency in advance?

>Nahan & Solan have no fishing in my knowledge.

Regarding Nahan, as per information on website, there is Gaming Authority and one can get license by paying Rs. 100 per rod, though I have never been there and I don't know the actual situation.

As per my knowlege places for trout fishing are as below, all places are far from Delhi though.

Sangla, Nagini, Rohru, Chirgaon, Tattapani, Katrain, Larji, Banjar, Kasol

On the Manali highway once you reach "Aut" (the famous Aut tunnel) you turn right and cross the Beas and reach the confluence of Tirthan/Sainj rivers where their is a PWD Rest House. Near this place Fisheries Deptt has an office where you can get an license for Rs.100/rod/day.

The Thirthan valley would stretch from Aut area to upstream of Nagani.

Nagani has a few resorts and also a very economical place to stay is at the entrance of Great Himalayan National Park.

Himachal Fisheries Deptt has a website :- http://hpfisheries.nic.in/welcome.asp

Rest by PM.

Ashok ji, thank you so much for precious information and advice!!

The Trout Fishing season closed on 01 Nov 2012. I was there for a week at Tirthan. Superb place for Trout Fishing. License can also be obtained from the Forest office on the road from Deoli to Gushaini. Lots of small pools with Brown speckled trout. I guess the season will open after Feb 2013. Lots of small resorts along the way.

To make the trip better book and plan in advance and in case you are not a trout fishing regular discuss your technique / tackle on the forum. Finally, take out only a few fish for the pan and unhook and release the rest safely.

The place where I had mentioned the confluence of Sainj / Thirthan (this is now lake due to the barrage downstream) is LARJI and is owned by the PWD Deptt (HP).

For booking their take a look at :-
