Looks like you caught decent sized fish, were they caught on bait or spinners?

Great going Sanjay,

Looks like it was a cool afternoon.

Keep them coming.

cheers

The middle one is a mrigal.. The other two are Khalbouse..
Good catch mate.. The Khalbouse is difficult to catch and one helluva fighter...
Great going

Two Khalbouse....good going mates

saiki

thanks for the correction gavin!!
nice fish mate..

Nice fish Sanjay... what was the bait used..???

Thanks.
Plain Atta, boiled and kneaded again with some water added, to get the required consistency.
Others (locals on hand line), were using all sort of additives but did not seem to make much difference in hit rates.

good show sanjay!!! where in Pune did you manage these?

IG, we have 4 rivers, two ( Mulla & Mutha) actually run through Pune, heavily polluted with both industial & human effluents but with a good monsoon they actually clean themself's !
The other two (Bhima & Indrayani) are driving distance and are clean throught out. No major industry or large human habitation being closeby. Plus we also have Khadakwasla (very productive this year), Mulshi & Panshet reservoir's, again driving distance. So a lot of fishing spots, in and around. Timing, is the name of the game!
The fish in the photo were caught in the Indrayani river. The same spot today was fishless

thanks for the info sanjay!!!

shall look you and those places up when i come down to Pune!!! I head good stories about the lake near NDA

Great Catch Sanjay.

But I still dont know where you caught these

Indian Gypsy, the place near NDA is Khadakwasla.

Btw, Sanjay, do they still net the area at Panshet ?? I know when I last went there in 2000, I used to pull a lot of nets while spinning

& then had to keep running away everytime the locals came.

One great fishing site I used to go to in Pune more than 25 years ago was at a place about 10 Kms from beyond the Mutha River Bridge on Aundh Road... River was sparkling clear and lots of Cat fish!

Sorry, for the delay but I have been really busy ! The fish looks bigger than it actually is ........ The pic. gives a fairly acurate weight

So now you know how busy I have been.

Hi Jonah,
Great spot and clean/beautiful too ! Has some nice size (2 - 3.5 Kg)Catla's too ! along with the other fish !
