Angling is one of the best leisure sports that test both the agility and the patience of the sportsman. Quiet moments on the banks of a gushing mountain river or stream surrounded by thickly wooded hillsides resounding with the chirping of birds can be one of the most rewarding experiences in ones lifetime. With its perennial snows, glaciers and high mountain lakes that feed the numerous streams and rivers of the state, Uttaranchal is a veritable angler's paradise. Of the 3000 kilometres of freshwater streams and rivers, 1200 kilometres have been identified as Trout territory.

This hardy game fish was introduced into Uttaranchal rivers by the British as early as 1863 and has flourished thanks to the constant efforts of the state fisheries department. Two of the most sporting freshwater game fish to be found in abundance in Uttaranchal rivers and streams are the Trout - brown and rainbow and the Mahseer a type of giant carp found in the warmer streams and rivers in the lower hills.
