Fishing

Fishing is one of most popular activities in Corbett and it is allowed in Ramganga, Kosi, Mandal and Kothri rivers. You can hire fishing rods available inside the park. In the land of the tiger's roar, lives a shy, slippery creature called the Mahaseer. Mahaseer, meaning the 'big mouth' is no ordinary fish. The thrilling challenge posed by the Mahaseer draws anglers from all over the world to India, where the river Ramganga flowing through the wild Corbett forests creates one of the most beautiful settings for angling. Winning the battle against the Mahaseer may call for a simultaneous display of ample skill, strength and speed. Sustainable angling, as opposed to intensive fishing, benefits conservation of prized fishes like mahseer. Angling is allowed in certain areas in the buffer region of Corbett after taking permits from the Forest Department. The warm waters in October-November and April-June make these periods ideally suited for angling. Though fisherman consider the Golden or Himalayan Mahseer as the main species available on the Ramganga / Kosi rivers, the Silver and Black Mahseer, Goonch (Cat fish) a fresh water scavenger also thrives in these rivers.
