Angling Tour in Odisha / Sport Fishing in Odisha, India
Odisha is a paradise for nature lover: the green forest, the infinite Eastern Ghat, the non perennial rivers, virgin beaches & numerous waterfalls always attract wildlife enthusiasts. Angling in Odisha is not new, if you visit any interior part of Odisha you can easily notice village boys, men, women sitting over river side with country side fishing rod near the bank of river & pond. This can be seen throughout Odisha year around. To make this age old livelihood / interest live we have designed Angling in prominent river of Odisha with all Eco tourism activities.
Angler’s Point in Odisha:
Odisha boasts of three major river systems.
- The Mahanadi River
- The Brahmani River
- The Baitarani River
A lot of fishing activity is done along the coastal waters and in these river systems by using fishing nets. The Mahanadi being the biggest river system in Orissa, it has the best of locations and offers the biggest fishes for sport to the anglers, both in line fishing through traditional methods as well as fly fishing with rods and reels using power boats. Since there is no angling done through rod and reel with fly or bait there is tremendous possibility for this sport in these waters.
Location in Odisha :
There are many places for the anglers to try their luck in the waters of Mahanadi . out of these the most favorable spot is the upstream waters near the Cuttack- Choudwar Barrage, where the Mahanadi releases its tributary called Birupa. This place is quite deep and the biggest of fishes have been caught through line fishing over the years by the local people. The length of this beat is about 5 kms long which touches a small rocky island known as Nandikishori pattha. This pattha is surrounded by very deep waters with rocky beds, which provide a perfect hide for very large game fishes.
Fishes:
Since Trouts and Mahseer are not available in these waters, all varieties of local carps, varieties of catfish, chhitals and murrels are in plenty and of very big size.
