Himachal Pradesh is one of the main destinations for angling in India. For trout fishing in the Uhl River in Barot, the best months are from April to October while mahseer fishing can be enjoyed in months of January to April and September to December at Sari Marog and Chamba Pattan in Kangra Valley. There is a nominal fee charged, mainly for the equipment. Mornings and evenings are the best time for angling. Catch trout yourself and get it prepared in one of the local food shops. Moreover, trout is also sold by the fisheries department at a trout farm in Barot in case neither your luck nor talent favours you.
