Kullu-Tirthan Valley-Goshaini
First brought to the country from England in 1880, the trout has made India a welcome home made even more welcome by the anglers. Well known rivers in Kashmir were modelled after famous beats in England and sportsmen enjoyed the cream of wet fly fishing, which also, incidentally, spawned off several indigenous flies, notably the Demons and Terrors dressed on two or three whipped hooks, but that's another story you can hear from the crew. Soon after, as trout hatcheries and breeding trout proved to be a success, more streams and rivers were scouted for viability of stocking and the appropriate ones stocked. The practice extended to Himachal Pradesh, where soon the Kulu Valley streams were homed by progeny of Loch Leven browns.
