Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Fishing with Vinayaka

Post by Pran » Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:47 pm

After a few weeks of planning, my fishing trip with Vinayaka(Hellfire m16) finally materialised last weekend. We started from Bangalore at 5 in the morning and reached Forbes by 8. After a quick breakfast we set off in the coracle spinning for murral. Vinayaka had good beginner's luck and caught two murrals in the first session.

Below are some of the pics taken during the trip-

No prizes for guessing what this is

We had fewer bites during this trip as compared to my last few visits here. It had rained heavily the previous day and I strongly suspect that the rain could've played spoilsport. We packed up at 6pm and rode back to Bangalore satisfied about being able to spend another great day outdoors.
