Trip to Ulhas river

Ulhas River
Ulhas River is a river of western India. It originates near Karjat in the Western Ghats Range, and flows westward through Raigad and Thane districts of Maharashtra between Kulgaon-Badlapur, north to Ulhasnagar (to which it gives its name) and on to Kalyan, where it turns west to Thane.

The river as seen from the bridge where we got off...

Getting geared up...

The water level in the river had risen to alarming levels because the dam up north(built by British 150yr ago) had collapsed. There was no way we could fish for anything in these gushing waters...

On our way to the fishing spot...

The landscape is simply breath taking!

Getting ready to go off-road...

The canal that will lead us to our spot...

To the right you can see water holes... These were teeming with danios and barbs of various kinds...

Initially, we could not catch a thing! The danios simply jump off(rather fly off!) as the net approaches...
When someone swiped the net, you could see 10-15 danios flying out of the water...

Finally, i got the first catch... From there on, we caught many danios...
I remember ajay once swiped his net in the water lazilyn and got 3 danio's in one swipe!
