Murrel, Haruan, Snakehead - Nagarjun Sagar

Dear friends,

Am publishing my old photos. We caught these fishes November 2010. Thought will share them with you all. We caught them at Nagarjun Sagar backwaters.

The fist two murrles were caught in at Nagarjun sagar and the second one caught by my friend was from a lake.

Cheers

Catla (Indian Carp) - 28lb

Dear Friends,

This Catla was caught by our team member Deepak sigh. He is our Rohu & Catla Superman !

Deepak is an avid and seasoned anglers from Hyderabad with more than 30 years of rich experience.

Location: Madhava Reddy Canal.



He caught this monster using Hyderabad's traditional tackle "Sing ki Chadi".

The bait was a mixture of flours.

Along with him are Ghansyam with family and Benu.

The catla was of 28lb and it gave a deadly fight. Landing a fish with "sing ki chadi" is an entirely a different experience as compared to a rod and reel setup.

Catfish Caugh at Pocharam

Dear Friends

Total catch was around 14 kg. Maximum size was 3.5kg.

We caught these fishes using the spoon lure. All the fishes were caught downstream of Pocharam Lake.

This lake is around 120 km from Hyderabad and 20kms from Medak.

Other places to visit while fishing at Pocharam is the Wildlife Sanctuary.

One can talk to the authorities of Forest department to visit the santuary.

Will update the photos of sanctuary very soon.

Fishing at Hyderabad - Fishing tackle advice.

Dear Friends,

If you're planning for a fishing trip to Hyderabad, here are few tips that might be helpful while you're fishing here.

For spinning team we suggest the following tackle. They can target Snakehead & Catfish (wallago attu). For details about these fishes you can view my previous posts.

1. Fishing reel size needed - 3000 - 4000
2. Rod - 6.5 -7 ft - medium action.
   
3. Line : 12-15lb mono
   
4. Lures - all types of spoon, spinners & few rapala rattlers.

For Bait Casting we suggest the following tackle. You can target Rohu & Catla. These two fishes are from carp family and are excellent game fish. Flour bait is used for these two species. For rest of the fishes you can use earthworms which are loved by almost all types of fishes.

1. Fishing reel size needed - 4000-6000
   
2. Rod - 6.5 -7 ft - medium action.
   
3. Line : 15-25lb mono
   
4. Lures - earthworms, live baits, Chicken lever, Chicken Gut & flour bait.
   

Other things to bring:
1)Life Jacket if you don't know swimming.
2)A sun hat/cap, Sun shades. Sun screen.
3) At least 2 liters of water(MUST). Any energy drinks would be of great help as well.
4) Refreshments - chocolates / energy bars/ Energy Drinks etc.
5) Lunch.
