Erai

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

Fishing Techniques

• For Yellowfin tuna

  When trolling for Yellowfin, vary your speed and distance from other boats to find what the fish are keying on.

• For Common dolphinfish

  When you hook one dolphinfish, leave it in the water near the boat as this will often keep the school around for you to catch more.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
