About Indian Trout

Despite the name this is not a true trout but a fast, predatory carp relative of clear Himalayan-fed rivers. It is a surface-smashing hunter that chases small fish and insects in fast riffles and pools, making it a fun light-tackle and fly target. Cast small spoons, spinners or streamers into broken water and retrieve quickly.

Typical size: Commonly 30 to 60 cm; trophy fish can exceed 1 m. Record (approx.): approx. 6 kg (varies by region).
