Fishing inside National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Tiger Reserves and Marine National Parks is not allowed without written permission. Angling in reservoirs, dams and many rivers needs a permit or angling licence from the State Fisheries Department or the water's owner / lessee. Rules differ by water body and district, so ask the State Fisheries Department or the owner before you fish.
