In Arunachal, you might get some trout in the upper reaches of Subhansiri, Siang and its tributaries. The best one are the big mahseers.

Hi Apoo, are you talkng fly fishing for mahseer in these waters or lures?

I have to buy a second rod as I was stupied enough to sell my 4wt to the manager of a hotel in Sonamarg and see that I can get an 8wt travel fly rod for same price as a 4 so I will consider buying the 8 and have the option of targeting both species as I still have a 6wt.

Thanks very much for the information.

I was referring to lures. In Teesta (Sikkim) we can hardly cast out our lures as the local bait fishermen puts 5-6 lines per person in the water. Assam, one of our member Salmo did try to fly fish but was unsuccessful. But that was for a day only and you cannot judge it in a single day of fishing. Though he hooked a golden mahseer on lure. Arunachal will be the same too.
