From a handful of anglers till a couple of years ago, the fresh waters of Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Dooars are drawing more and more people, proving the growing popularity of sport fishing.
 
Even though the ideal angling season is from mid - February to mid - May, the riverbanks of the Teesta, Rangit, Relli and Rishi are flooded with anglers nearly whole of the year. The only period when the anglers hang up their rods is the monsoon, from around mid-May till end-September when angling becomes well-nigh impossible because of rise in the water levels of the rivers.
 
The most popular spots for sport fishing are the confluences, where the Teesta meets other rivers. According to anglers, the best spot among the lot is Tribeni, which is the confluence of the Teesta and Rangeet. Doban at 27 Mile, where the Relli joins the Teesta, and the Teesta - Ravi Jhora confluence a few kilometers downstream are other spots frequented by the anglers. Sport fishing also takes place in the upper reaches of the Relli, Rishi and Mam rivers. A complete set of basic angling equipment will cost between INR 6000 and INR 10000 in the local market. In fact, given the growing popularity of sport fishing, a one-stop destination of angling equipment opened shop at 10th Mile. We have arrangement for renting the fishing equipment.
