Tambo / Eeel caught by Salik Khan, Hyderabad, India.

Dear Friends

This is one of the biggest eel caught by our member Salik Khan. It is very rare to catch a fish of this size. This was around 5 kg. It was caught on earthworm as bait at Madhavreddy canal near Nagarjuna Sagar.

We used to fish at nagarjunsagar downstream at night after 11pm till 5am. We used to catch these eels using earthworm but this size is a treat for our eye.

Sengal, Shovelnose catfish, Singhara - Salik Khan of Hyderabad

Dear Friends

These fishes are from the catfish family. In Hyderabad we call it as sengad, singhara in north India and shovelnose catfish across the globe.

This is a predatory fish and bottom feeder. It take all kinds of dead and live baits required you set the bait at the bottom. We enjoy catching this fish at Madhav reddy canal rapid waters because you got to be very alert while setting the hook.


All these fishes were caught using earthworms. We have been catching these fishes at Madhav reddy canala since very long time using earthworms.

Salik bhai caught all these fishes at Madhav reddy canal.

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.
