The Exact Season
Fishing season in Kashmir runs from April to October.
The larger rivers like Sindh or Liddar are covered with snow, which starts melting between the month of May to July. Spinning is allowed at these rivers, but the wet fly and weighted cast tests the expertise of the angler, which may produce good result. In the month of April, August and September these rivers are calm & quieter, and the bigger fish are said to reside in the stiller waters.
The river tributaries and other water channels near these mainstream river beats allows another type of fishing all through the season. The smaller streams allows only flies, with wet fly fishing good for result all season. The third type of fishing are the streams fed by small springs and lakes set at high altitude are suitable for both dry and wet fly challenge.

There are 61 beats open for booking for the travelers and tourists throughout the season, ranging from the turbulent Sindh and Wangat Rivers to the tranquil lakes Krishanshar, Vishanshar, Gangabal and Nunkhol, situated at the high altitudes.
