I salute those who care for these magnificent creatures . Its a pity we are about to loose this wonderful species in our country(Pakistan). I felt young once again watching this video.

@anilbobbili 

[fahrigonzo]

have you caught any goonch on the trip?

[Stubarbel]

No, tried for them on other trips but no success, think the Ramganga is the place to go for a goonch

[GoooDean]

[sushant888]

@GoooDean dis is nepal..u will find lots of places like dis here..ur most welcome to come..

[ellora5]

[Stubarbel]

@ellora5 Mahseer can be caught on plugs, spoons and spinners, just upgrade the trebles

[ellora5]

@Stubarbel wht mahsheer eats can u give me tips for catchin other indian fishes

[cardonaman]

what a beautiful fish, and its in the carp family right? I wish we had fish like that in the U.S!

[eliwoohoo]

Can I ask what rods/reels you guys used? I thought I heard BlackRock at one point. Also, how did you cope with the swift running water in terms of lure action? Just upstream and straight retrieve through the drift?

[Stubarbel]

Used daiwa Exceller 11ft spinning rods, with daiwa saltist spinning reels, most casts made across current, then a slow retrive, current brings lure in at an arc, then moved a down a few yards and cast repeated

[SurajR8]

Thiss is at NEPAL...THE BEST PLACE TO VISIT

.

[wtfyouagain]

Best Vid on youtube by miles. I have just returned from India myself and my cousin is a member of a fishing club that gets together in November. There are a lot of them, including all facilities like tents, toilets and power supply generators for camping. They also have a chef, as not all are caught on a 'catch and release' basis.

I am thinking of going in November and when I do I will get a post going on it.

[DEZZNJEZZ]

Amazing video Mr. Walker. Thanks for releasing the golden beauty of himalayan waters. It was very kind of you.

DeZZ

[Samjapa]

[Stubarbel]

@Samjapa  all fish were released unharmed

cheers

[jameshart77]

Hi Stu

Loved the video. Have you ever heard of anyone taking mahseer on the fly?

[Stubarbel]

Yes its getting very popular, had a few small ones on the fly, but have heard them been caught to 27lbs

Misty from the Himalayan Outback is a Mahseer fly fishing nut and has all the low down.

[nutrinoland]

i go there once every year with dad.....love it....

going in jan...hope i catch a big one.....

i do wanna go to the north too,one of these days.....

[Stubarbel]

Yes i have been down south and enjoyed that too, chasing them in the corracles is good fun.

Good luck when you go in Jan

[pervezak]

Great video. fantastic fishing.

[deaf9901]

wow..nice fish.maybe the team should try malaysian mahseer after this :)

[jigijigi99work]

Its an awesome video and the fish.

Could you tell me what river is it and where?

[Stubarbel]

Mahakali River on the border between India & Nepal

[oxbridgeooo]

one of the best mahseer video i hv ever seen! thanks for posting it !!! Sarmad nadeem qureshi - Islamaabad

[xemphimtube]

Great Great expedition video guys!! did you organised the trip yourself or a tour? You have inspired us. We are planning a trip for seven people in Oct 2010. Thank you for sharing you video. Just want to know which was the best lure? In rapids? calm water? time of the day?.....thanks again.

[Stubarbel]

Sorted our own fishing plan, but used Himalayan Outback as resource/support, can highly recommend them.

Seven people fishing ? sounds alot, on a trip up North.

Simple spoon worked best for us, but jointed rapalas very good, just get the strongest hooks you can. When not spooked easy fish to get a take, landing them is another thing !

Getting the timing right is critical, we got it just right this time, but i have been before with just a 6lb fish for 12 days fishing.

Good luck !

[Fishermanarun]

Try Karnali River in Nepal Season Starts from Feb end and ends may last before the monsons. I got my 36 lb here in Cauvery river in december i have posted same in you tube let me know if u plan to come this side of india.

[Stubarbel]

Mahakali River System on the border with Nepal just after the monsoon.

[Fishermanarun]

Which part of North India is this. Grt expedition

[sushant888]

@Fishermanarun my fren this ain't north india..dis is nepal..

[Stubarbel]

Yes the spoons worked very well, simple but very effective.

[alisaeeddotcom]

wow what an extraordinary expedition guys! Mahseer is king of all freshwater fishes.. YES.

It seems like with tons of rapala lures only desi made brass spoons working?

Thanks for sharing the video
