It takes more than an hour from there to Kanakpura, thanks to a national highway with millions of potholes and unusual narrowing at many places. Hidden in the deciduous forests about 10km from Sangam, on the banks of the River Cauvery you can actually miss this camp and drive past it, so beautifully tucked away is the place. The place has huge Terminalia Arjuna trees lining both sides of the river and there are hardly any big boards announcing it. There are no tar roads and it seriously feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. And as the trees parted to let you through voila! Behold a scene as pretty as any picture- the gently flowing Cauvery River at a little distance, Pucca tents lining one side each with its own hammock outside, deep green forests and little else! You are thrown into a coracle, a lightweight boat that seemed more like an oval basket, and you take off down stream. It is gorgeous. Gently swaying in the breeze, water lapping around you, float past green and greener. Galibore is 16km downstream from Bheemeshwari, the camp famous for Mahseer angling. You can choose to trek up to Bheemeshwari and then coracle it back to the camp. Reaching the tent you find pitch darkness. Fumble around ? no switches. No bulbs, no lamps, no switches. Yes, no electricity. There is indeed no electricity, save for a tube light in the common dining place. Hurricane lamps are provided at the front of the tent and the back of the tent

For brook trout, the native habitat includes the territory from Labrador westward to the Saskatchewan, while the rainbow trout is a native of the Pacific slope from Alaska to California.
On the other hand, brown trout has found its way into the waters of every state in the United States except Florida, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas. It has been reported in the waters of some of these states, but according to conservation officials, no authentic reports have been received. It is also found in many parts of Canada.
In trout fishing, there are some factors that need to be considered in order to have a successful catch.
1. For trout fishing, the leader should not be greased. It will not sink far enough to cause any difficulty when picking the line and lure from the water, but if it is allowed to float; it will cast a shadow on the bottom of the stream which may scare the trout.
2. The trout is one of the fishes that are usually secured through the use of the dry fly. For trout, the current as well as the pools should be fished. It may sometimes be a bit difficult to keep the fly from sinking or dragging because of the various conditions of the current, but this is a matter that the angler will have to figure out for himself. 3. It is not good practice when fishing for trout to fish directly upstream so the flies, line, and leader will float directly over fish. The fisherman should make the cast from one side of the stream so the fly will only float over the fish.
4. It is important to make the first cast the best. A feeding trout will usually strike the first lure presented if it is cast so that it will float over his private domain. The angler should never fail to fish the lower end of the pool first even if the trout are rising in the middle or upper end.
5. Trout are sometimes very moody or selective and will try the patience of any angler; hence, possibly a fly with less hackle will do the trick or it may be necessary to use a spent-wing fly or a fan wing.
Indeed, catching trout fishes can be lots of fun. The anglers just have to remember these tips in order to have a happy catch.
