Bhutan’s fish and fishing opportunities remain significantly under-discovered. About Forty-two species have been recorded, though potentially there may be an additional two hundred or more. Furthermore, since most are not aware of this option, fewer than ten fly-fishers annually visit Bhutan. Therefore, there exists the chance of making some interesting and unexpected discoveries. The best times for fishing are from March to October.
