hi guys, i just returned from a trip to kashmir with my family and somehow managed to find two days to fish for trout in the kashmir streams. the weather was cold and wet but the fishing was good. winter has still not left kashmir. fishing is not only about catching fish, you also make new friends along the way. let me introduce my friend omar ahmed who lives in srinagar and has been flyfishing for trout since his childhood. omar knows the streams of kashmir like the back of his hand and is an expert in entomology and trout behaviour. he is presently writing a book on fly fishing in kashmir. i hope he joins the forum and shares his magnificient catches and knowledge with all of us. they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so i'll let the pictures tell the story.....

Kashmir is beautiful & fishing looks good. Hope you fish regularly there! Waiting for the book on Fly fishing to be published.

Wonderful catch Doc. Congrats.

Beauty doc . maybe i should pick up some fly fishing.

you must have had a great fishing time for the 2 days, lovely trout for the plate too. congrats

@ darryl- the fisheries dept have all kinds of rules in place but there is no implementation . beat guards have been assigned for every beat and they turn up to collect their bakshish. moreover beats in secluded areas of the forest are not patroled. there are poor poachers who poison the streams and rich poachers who either dont buy licence at all or buy licence for one day and fish for three. the catch limit is six fish which is completely ignored. the fisheries dept releases fish every year that is why it is still sustaining.

Great Pics sir ....I'm guessing this is somewhere in the Sind valley near Baltal.....I'm presently here in Srinagar and will be here for some time...and am hoping to do some good fishing.....will msg u for some details seperately....
