hey guys...
m plannin to organise a day trip for some of my college pals...max ten off us...can u guys suggest some places around bang where we can fish for free(and i dont mind a nominal price)...we dont need to catch monsters...even a bunch of tilapia on worms will do ...wat we have in mind is a picnic lunch with the added attraction of a spot of fishing...owen bops any suggestions?
and this'll probably be within the next two weeks or so try keepin the water in mind..the indian summer doesnt exactly keep the lakes filled to the brim...!!

Dear Aaron
You can go to manchinbele reservoir dam. Its about 40km. You need to take mysore road. Go past rajarajeswari temple. After going some 10 Km on the right hand side u'll find rajarajeshwari dental college. Take that right which also takes you to The BANYAN tree. Once you reach banyan tree ask for this place, i think its 12-15 Km from there. Nice place, great teerain and to add color there is a dhaba. Try this i think you'll not be dissappointed.

Hey Aaron

Manchinbele is your best bet since the local fishermen usually let you fish there without causing trouble. Try to fish on the other side of the dam, the entry to which is via the Magadi road. You go upto the main entrance of the TG Halli dam then continue down the road and you will see a turn off to the left. Follow that road and you should reach a village where you can park your car and walk down to the water.

Bops

any licenses i need to procure?

Not that I know of. Just make sure you have a kannada pro with you.

Bops

bops i aint too bad at the language(if an 80 in a board exam means anything)..and any idea bout the fishing there now? importantly is there water..?

Send Riaz a PM, he goes to Manchinbele pretty often.

Bops

Hi
Aaron wish you the best catch

dear when are u planing to go ?

regarding licenses u have to go towards a small village next to the dhaba

there you find SANGA office one mr narayan appa is the secretary

20 rupees for each rod ,in kannada its called as ghana [hook]

the best spot is opp to the water tank to reach there you have to cross the dam by paying a small amt to the gate keeper,

now a days they are not allowing any body even if he wishes to pay since the dam is under maintanance yet u can try your luck

Here u find chilwa on earth worm maral on spinners #4 rahu and cutla useing gav bait bread mixed with rice ,ground bait molasses with rum and rice
hope this info will be of some use to you
inform me when are u planning to go if time permits i too will be there
regards
riaz

Riaz,Bops,
Would like to know where in Manchinbele you guys fished.Had two unsuccessful fishing trips there.Pictures if any would help.

Aaron,
We weren't aware of the passes and didn't have problem with the localites there.

hi pran check this http://www.indianangler.com/viewtopic.php?t=593

Thanks Riaz.But then the background doesn't give a good reference.Guess we'll have to use the '100 yards from the pumphouse' to get the place right.

Pran

Yes you are right dear

Hi pran!
As owen says u need to know where the mongrels realy are .

Hey Aaron/Riaz n all Others. M Raj n m an avid angler. I go for fishing at different places for both still water and runig water. I luv the trill of adventure. I prefer camping out n m a crazy adventurous person. I luv to sit around bonfires with meat being cooked on fire n sum beer to go with it. I love cooking n do catering especially Momo's etc n also deel in Vehicles mainly 4x4, Gypsy n Safari. Even my family comes along and they to luv it all as I do.

I was searchig the net on fishing site around Blr and came thru this site. When I read all U ppls blogs "Wow" was wat came out of my mouth. This is sumthing dat I really enjoy. M now regretting Y I did not get this site b4. By the way is/are any of u from Kolkata bcoz I am.

Did any of U go the manchinbele reservoir dam recently? How was ur trip? Got any catch? I am planning to take a trip there n wud like to get sum info. How deep is the lake? How far do u put the Ground bait and how deep is it at dat place? Does the hooks get stuck underneth and is weed (Jhajhi) in it. Wat fishes r there? Rohu/Mirgle/Katla etc? Can we bring home the fish dat we catch? Is there any place for staying accomodation there? Do they have any season n fishing timing?

Fluff! one heck of a lot of questions.

whoa! slow down.
