ACTIVITIES

Fishing

Both fly-fishing and spinning methods could prove an adventure to fish hunters. Trout fishing with a fly or spoon is a very enjoyable sport and fish from 200 gms to 4 kgs, can be taken. Rainbow Trout, Carp Masheer, Wallugu Attu, Murrel, Carnatic Carp, Catfish are mostly found in the Moyar River and in the Bhavani above Parelli Dam. Though spinning proves a much more successful method for Trout, Fly Fishing can also be fun. Licence to fish can be obtained from Manager, TN Fisheries Development Corporation at Bhavanisagar and also from the Asst. Director of Fisheries, Fishdale, Udhagamandalam.

Bird Watching

The Nilgiri's have a wide and varied wild fauna and flora which is noticeable especially in the case of avifauna. Birds are generally classified into various categories, with Nilgiri birds however falling into the hill bird class. The Nilgiri Verditer, a Sparrow sized blue bird, is the most conspicuous of the species as it is not only a fine singer but also performs a conspicuous perch. The bold black and orange fly catcher, though old elsewhere, is rather shy in the Nilgiris. The Nilgiri laughing thrush, a member of the thrush family, is less visible as they stick to the thickets, but they give themselves away with their sporadic bursts of maniacal "laughter" in complete disregard for harmony. Bulbuls are active noisy and are among the sprightliest of the lot. Their loud clear whistling calls attract attention to themselves. Nilgiris woodcock, the orange minivet, the Malabar whistling thrush, the southern grackle or Hill myna, and the red tailed drongo, the fairy blue bird, malabar trogon, the shama and Raptors, Lizard Hawks and large eagles are found in the Nilgiris.

The Ooty Golf course follows the soft contours of down land, with its tonsured effect of tree-bare heights is not only scenic but also quite trying, and it would be wise for the visitors to play only nine of the 18 holes on the first day.
