I found it best to spin near the surface, using no sinker. But my friends aforesaid, who are good authorities, Mr. Cyril Kirkpatrick and Mr. H." S. Dunsford, told me that Batchwa fishing differed with the season. In April they ran up to 1-Ib., but in May were in larger numbers at the Narora and Okhla anicuts, the bigger ones being in mid-stream, the smaller ones in the eddies, the smaller ones then taking a fly the size of a lake trout fly or bigger, say No. 9 to No. 4 Limerick, the bigger for choice, or a very small fish or spoon. So freely do the smaller ones take the fly that on a cast of three it is not unusual to take one on each fly. There is a curious consensus of opinion in favour of the bigger hook on the ground of giving a better hookhold, the Batchwa often getting off the smaller hooks. The recognised colours of the flies are orange and black. Batchwa are said to show sport from the 15th or end of March, though an odd few may be caught even in February, till at least the beginning of November, April and May being the best months, and possibly they may take after November, but deponent cannot say. They take in coloured snow-water, when Mahseer will not. On the ft S 4 2 f S."

That is about 80 Ibs. each in a short Indian afternoon with no lengthening English twilight. You can hardly wish for anything much better. Generally the fishing is at the surface, using no sinker with your spinning bait. Only when the Batchwa do not show at the surface should you fish...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rod in India: Being Hints How to Obtain Sport With Remarks on the Natural History of Fish, and Their Culture As the Second Edition of this book was, in comparison with the First Edition, "nearly half of it a new book," so the Third Edition makes a further stride in the like direction with more than a third of new matter. New fish are introduced, with new methods of capture. Most of the previous full page lithographs are reproduced, reduced by photography to the size of the present handier volume, and two new plates of fish are added. Endeavouring to give my readers the advantage of all the English improvements in tackle that I thought applicable to India, I have accompanied them with ninety-six illustrations thereof, thinking such a manner of representation more explanatory than any amount of letterpress, and specially so to the far distant Indian angler who cannot enlighten himself by visiting a tackle-shop and judging from personal inspection. Not a few of these illustrations have been presented to me, as particularized below by name of donor, with page on which they appear. Still, while thoroughly acknowledging my indebtedness for the courtesies named, I desire to add that in admitting these illustrations to my pages I have, as ever, had one only consideration, the interests of the angler. The above additions to the size of the book have brought fresh cause for curtailment in other directions. So I have pruned here and there, and have thrown out two whole chapters on Pisciculture in sea and fresh water, as having only a secondary interest to some anglers, and because, from retirement, I can no longer do anything for Pisciculture in India.
