Tochi River

Flowing through خیبر پختونخوا, Pakistan, Tochi River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Tochi River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Tochi River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• For Great barracuda

  Use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs due to their sharp teeth, and a fast retrieve often triggers a strike.
