The golden mahseer is why anglers have come to the rivers of Corbett country for a century. The Homestead, a family farm of 170 acres near Jim Corbett National Park, arranges a guided session on them: catch and release, with a guide who knows which stretch is fishing well that week. Sessions run at first light or last light, outside the monsoon. Gear is provided. Patience is not. A guided session ### First light or last light. A session is guided, and every mahseer goes back in the river. The guide brings the gear and picks the stretch. The river sits outside the monsoon, and a session needs more notice than a block on the farm, so send your dates early. The Homestead gives the price when you ask. - Price · **On request** · The Homestead gives the price when you ask. - When · **First light or last light** - Season · **Outside the monsoon** - Where · **The rivers of Corbett country** - Notice · **More than a day** · Fishing needs more notice than a block on the farm. - Package · **In The Forest Edge** · 3 days, 2 nights for two, all meals.
