Pravara

Pravara is a river flowing through Maharashtra, India. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Pravara, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

  Jarbua terapon often congregate around structure, so target rocks, piers, and mangroves for best results.

• For Rohu carp

• For Silver carp

  Chumming is essential; create a feeding frenzy with plankton or ground-up bait before fishing. Target areas with abundant plankton blooms for the best results.
