ON SPORT GENERALLY AND FISHING IN PARTICULAR. QUT of all the young men who come to India for the first time how many bring out a rod? Almost all bring out guns or rifles with keen ideas of the sport to be their's when first they get leave, but for every twenty that bring out a gun, perhaps only one brings out a rod. And yet many of these men were keen enough fishermen at home. With some, it is the idea that having tasted the joys of salmon or trout fishing at home, there can be nothing here worthy of their skill. With others it is mere ignorance. No one has told them of the fine fish to be caught, while many have told them varied and exciting tales of tigers, bison and deer, and of the joys of pig-sticking. Personally I have been lucky enough to have had experience of most of the above sports, and--well comparisons are odious. There is a wild joy in being on a good horse, with a game old boar in front, and one lives a lifetime during that stern chase, and then that glorious moment when after many jinks and escapes, yours, the first spear goes well home, in a foe who is truly worthy of your steel. Then again is the moment of pure and holy joy that steals over one, when after following the tracks of a bison through dense jungle for the better part of the day, suddenly the old solitary bull appears before one, head in air sniffing the breeze and suspicious of danger, but not knowing where to look for it. Then your rifle rings out, he falls, rises again, and once more goes down to your second barrel, and a minute after you are admiring the massive frame, and splendid proportions, of perhaps the finest animal India has to offer in the way of "big game." But there is a joy of another sort, not to be beaten in pleasure and excitement...
Download or read book Synopsis of Biological Data on the Tor Mahseer Tor Tor Hamilton 1822 written by V. R. Desai and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among Indian mahseers, Tor mahseer Tor tor (Hamilton, 1822) is the most important food and game fish of India after Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822). It constitutes an outstanding fishery in the Narmada River in central India. It has also settled in some Indian reservoirs which have been stocked with this fish. However, the building of dams across certain rivers has created reservoirs that have destroyed the natural breeding grounds of the fish and caused mortality on brood and juvenile fish indiscriminately. The mahseer fishery of India is further declining as a result of low recruitment of the fish. Stocking rivers and reservoirs with mahseer is therefore essential to restore the fishery. This synopsis is the compilation of biological data for Tor tor - Tor mahseer collected from different sources. The detailed biological information on Tor tor, including the feeding habits, breeding and growth patterns contained in this synopsis, will be very useful in planning the development of the mahseer fishery in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD STORY OF HOW THE TROUT CAME TO CALL INDIAN RIVERS ITS HOME. When the East India Company's business venture with India turned into a full-fledged occupation of the country, the British in India, apart from establishing their governance, were concerned with one more thing - how to make their surroundings here more akin to their homeland. Even as they dotted the Indian terrain with their manicured gardens, clock towers and pristine colonial structures, many among them (particularly a clutch of British anglers) increasingly felt the absence of one essential fish in Indian rivers - the trout. A Fish in Alien Streams presents the astounding story of a motley group of mavericks, adventurers and eccentric naturalists who, driven by their peculiar fixation, were obsessed with introducing the trout to India's rivers. This delightful account of an unknown slice of India's colonial past combines incredible research involving antique books, rare documents and letters of wistful longing for the trout with the minutiae of fishing and skilful planning. Spanning the Kashmir valley, Kullu, Uttarkashi, the Nilgiris, Travancore and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), this unique and incredible tale is about magnificent passions, countless failures and ultimate triumph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the 19th century in India, more than a million wild animals were trounced under the barrel of the gun, bringing them almost to the brink of extinction. There began one of the most inspirational stories of the crusade from Karapore village at the Kabini river of Mysore in South India. An innovative style of protecting nature gives immense importance to the preservation of wilderness, changing the lives of the aborigines through an instrument of eco-tourism. The book charts the key moments in the fight to conserve the natural wealth of India, which has been the centre of admiration for maharajas, the cynosure of the eyes of all royal princes, eminent military officials and those who set on foot to India during the medieval period, embarking on a journey of incredible stories of wildlife sports such as hunting and shooting. The chronicle gives a fascinating picture of the success story of eco-tourism in Karnataka. It offers an atmospheric and entertaining account of the lives of Indian princes, early lifestyles of viceroys, kings, czars and sovereign monarchs with joyful hunting expeditions of emperors, maharajas and enjoyable sports of diplomats and bloodhound hunters, the British civil servants. In a most vivid and gripping style, the saga records the life of men who lived in the wilderness amidst tribes and aborigines and made them friends, which spread the message of the benevolence of human relationships, love and a deep affection for nature and natural resources. It is a captivating book packed with splendid quotes, entertaining anecdotes, chronicles of pre-independent, innovative, triumphant trials of Khedda operations in the princely states of Mysore and Hyderabad, absorbing tales of the wildlife of India and her natural splendours across the cultural diversity of various tribes, ethnicities and their virtues, beliefs and ethos.
