Angling Fishing

An angler's paradise, Jim Corbett National Park offers ample opportunities for anglers to fish for a wide variety of fish. The Ramganga River, flowing through the heart of the park, is a fisherman's delight with its rich variety of fish. The river abounds with mahseer, trout, catfish, barbel, and other fish.

Anglers can also fish in the numerous lakes and ponds that dot the park. The Dhikala and Jhirna lakes are especially good for fishing. The Ramganga River is known for its mahseer, a prized game fish. The trout is also a popular game fish in the park. Fishing is allowed in all the areas of the park except the core area.
Anglers can use either bait or fly fishing techniques. Bait fishing is done with live or dead bait, while fly fishing uses artificial flies as lures. The best time for fishing is during the monsoon season, when the water is high and the fish are more active.

Angling and fishing can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it is important to remember that these activities are allowed only in certain areas of the park and that certain rules and regulations must be followed. It is also important to remember that fishing can be dangerous, and that proper precautions should be taken.
