The
Coorg Wildlife Association, Madikeri provides
information on fishing license and guides for
Mahseer fishing. Fishing licenses are mandatory for
all eager anglers. Fishing licenses are not issued
during the monsoon (when most fish species breed);
in addition, most licenses are issued for only a
specified stretch of water. Furthermore, there are
stipulations that all fish caught must be released
into the water, and anglers are restricted to a
specified number of fish per day. Ladyfish fishing
is also another option that can be considered.
Homestays and Plantation Stays in Madikeri provides
assistance for procuring required permissions
