(PRWeb) January 26, 2007 -- The Majestic Mahseer is to fishing what the tiger was to Big Game hunting - The Ultimate Trophy. Maharajas, Viceroys, and even the Prince of Wales have all tried their hands at the Mahseer of India. Himalayan Outback is the main flyfishing guide service in India and is now listed with AmericanFlyFishingTravel.com
The Himalayas are considered the true land of adventure; overwhelming landscape; spectacular views; rich in history, art, tradition; and generous in its innumerable possibilities for flyfishing adventures. Himalayan Outback focuses on fishing the most productive beats of the rivers and the lakes in the Indian Himalayas where the odds of trophy game fish are consistently high and in getting our guests to the most virgin, off the beaten track, areas with the best guides.
The Mahseer inhabits the torrential rivers and perennial rivulets of the sub mountainous terrain in the course of the Himalayas. It can be found up to and altitude of 2,500 ft above sea level. The rivers that are considered to be the strongholds of the Himalayan Mahseer include the Ganges and its tributaries, the Eastern and Western Ramganga, the Mahakali and its tributaries, the Kosi, the Beas and its tributaries, the Sutlej and its tributaries, the Bhramaputra and its tributaries, the Ravi and its tributaries, the Yammuna and its tributaries, and the Indus along with its tributaries. Due to the diversity of regions in which the Mahseer is found in, and the assortment of techniques it can be had on, fishing for the Mahseer makes a particularly interesting pursuit for the avid angler.
The Legacy of this absorbing sport was brought into the country by the English during their reign in India and was passed on over the years to the Indians. The Himalayas are indeed the perfect setting to take a Mahseer, regardless whether one is inclined on the spinning or the fly. There are few fresh water fish in comparison to its sporting aptitude and which inhabit such torrential waters.
Prior records on fishing for the Mahseer in the North mention some huge Mahseer caught by various anglers. St. J. Macdonald's book, "Circumventing the Mahseer", mentions a Mahseer over 55 lbs caught by him and others including a 75lbs monster caught in the early nineteenth century. Though he goes on to say that that there would be few anglers in the North who could claim a fifty-pound plus Mahseer! A fifty-pound fish in the North is considered a trophy because of the fight that this fish puts up in the torrid Himalayan waters.

Fly fishing is very different than fishing with a lure or worm type baits.

Every fly fisherman has his own type of flies he like to use some purchase them and then some of us like to tie our own. Fly tying is more of an art with basic training which most people can learn over a short period of time.

Wet Fly Fishing For Trout
The Walker?s mayfly nymph is a weighted fly which imitates the emerging mayfly before it crawls out of the water and flies away. It therefore is not dry and sinks. These are cast upstream in front of a fish and ?tweaked? or gently retrieved often with great success-they are ideal on a chalk stream when the fish are not rising. This is usually the only acceptable form of wet fly fishing for trout on the major chalk streams.
