Adrian, Ben, John and myself have just returned from what can only be described as a mind blowing trip to southern India in search of the famous mighty mahseer.
We got stuck in as soon as we arrived!
We got stuck in as soon as we arrived!
We had all read "Somewhere down the crazy river" at some time in our angling careers, and a big pat on the back for Adrian for suggesting that we needed to go now rather than later!
Hot (40 degrees plus) and dusty.....
Someone shouted Chilwar....we all shouted Chilwar!
Ben and John just pondering over the sheer beauty of the Cauvery, and perhaps where next to cast that monster ball of soft raggi........
A little white water to contend with, on most days.......
We all caught our fair share of fish, one guy had fish of 66 and 77 pounds, the fishing was nothing short of fantastic, we all caught Mahseer within an hour of arriving!!!!!!!
A location with a surprise under every stone, around every corner and on most casts, not for those with a nervous disposition........

A huge thanks to Dave Plumber for making this trip tick so many boxes!
