In Bhutan, the most common varieties of fishes are the snow trout (belonging to the carp family), brown and rainbow trout (which has thrived since its introduction some decades ago) Usually, the perfect trout angling time in Bhutan is from spring season (March till May) and fall (September till November) rnrnWhile you are in Bhutan, you will be experiencing the unique joy of angling, in which many beautiful trout streams, rugged mountains and many cultural scenes which are dated back from 8th century onwards. Fishing in the crystal clear stream of Bhutan is totally breathtaking landscape and that is what every angler always dreams about.
