Verinag, Rainbow Trout

Guest post by Man Mohan Munshi Ji. I remember reading that Rainbow Trout from Isleman in Denmark was first introduced in Kashmir in the 1950s.

Verinag Spring

At one time only the local Kashmiri Fish (Sater Gad) used to be in
Verinag Spring but since a number of years Rainbow trout has also
found its way

Dear Vinayak,

The photograph is of a Brown Trout and not a rainbow trout.

There are brown trouts in Verinag spring and the stream which flows further down. Though they have added some rainbow trouts as well, but brown is dominant.

I know it becoz I have am a pro angler and visited Verinag Trout Beat quite many times.

Just FYI..

Yaseen.
