Refine your casting accuracy with new techniques and learn to read river behavior to spot active fishing zones. Understand bait selection, species recognition, and proper catch-and-release methods. Wrap up with riverside reviews and instructor tips for improving technique.

Travel to the Old Manali River and fish in a crystal-clear alpine stream surrounded by cedar and birch. Practice stealth, line control, and river reading under natural conditions. Learn about conservation, local fishing laws, and the importance of sustainable practices.
Explore untouched riverscapes during a guided walk to identify promising fishing spots and fish movement signs. Try out side casts and roll casts to suit complex water conditions. Sharpen your skills fishing eddies, pools, and river bends for a more dynamic angling experience.
Put your skills to the test in an independent fishing challenge. Assess your technique, casting form, and river awareness. Share your learning experience with the group, receive a Certificate of Completion, and part ways with a river-seasoned sense of calm and achievement.
