The Lidder Valley is a fisherman's dream - pure mountain air, serene tranquility and bountifully populated waters. The Lidder River feeds the entire region of lush meadows and magnificent clear lakes with a series of tributaries and streams, all of which team with rainbow and brown trout. The best time for fishing stretches from April to September, and the best spots are recorded by locals, so we always know where to head to find the best fishing beets. Though one requires a permit to go fishing, the experience can be a once in a lifetime experience. This region is aptly known as a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. The streams and lakes have plenty of brown and rainbow trout.

Brought to Kashmir from Europe a century ago, the trout is imperilled by pollution, human intervention, and climate change..

Story : The History of introduction of Trout in Kashmir is interesting, the first batch of Trout ova of 10,000 eggs arrived from U.K. in 1899 with the courtesy of Duke of Bedford, to whom the Kashmir Maharaja presented an excellent Kashmir Stag trophy through Sir Adelbert Talbot, British Resident at Srinagar. Unfortunately the first batch perished enroute due to non existence of air transport. The 2nd shipment of trout ova arrived in excellent condition from Scotland in month of Dec. 19th 1900 through Mr. J.S.Macdonall which included 1800 fry. Out of this 1000 fry were transferred to Panzagam Dachigam (Harwan) about 24km from srinagar and rest of 800 fry were reared in the premises of a private carpet factory owner (Mr. Michel) in Baghi Dilawar Khan in the heart of city near Khank~l Moulla.
