Angling

Angling is one of the popular activities in Coorg. You can drop a line in the hope of catching some fish in one of the most scenic and lush towns in Karnataka. Anglers and fishing enthusiasts can throw in their cord from the banks of the river in the hope to hook species like Ladyfish and Mahaseer.

Valnur village, located 45 minutes away from Coorg, is famous for its fishing camps. There are many fishing camps on the banks of river Kaveri near Kushalnagar in Coorg. However, you need a license for fishing which is issued at the office of Coorg Wildlife Society in Madikeri.

You have to be a little careful about the fishing rules and restrictions in this area. Apart from this, fishing in Valnur has to follow the catch and release principle; the fish you catch have to be released back into the water. It is a part of a conservation campaign in the area.

November to April is the best season for the activity.
