  • Had gone fishing to one of my favourite spots on the Teesta river. The monsoon this year was quite long and extended. So i was not sure about the river conditions. I had a feeling i was too late, as i had already missed the run at Rangit river. That too by a mere 2-3 days, which was my actual planned date but had to change as my friends weren't available to fish those dates.
    So i set off that morning not knowing what awaits me. As i made my way on foot to the river i could see that the small stream was clear. It was a good sign. However 10 mins into fishing, the small stream started turning murky. So i headed downstream to the pool. It didn't look good. There was a person who had setup 4 baited hand-lines across the bank. I had half a mind to return, but i thought i might as well give it a try since i was already there. It took about 90 mins of casting before i got the bite. I had already turned off my GoPro as i wasn't hopeful of catching anything. The bite came so suddenly and strong, it took me by complete surprise. The fish just took off with no signs of stopping. I was pretty sure it was a Golden Mahseer.
    I guess all i can say is that i am glad i was patient that day. Got my personal best Copper Mahseer weighing 5Kgs. Also my biggest fish so far.
