These rules govern the management of water resources and fisheries across the entire state of Uttarakhand. They classify various water bodies, such as rivers, streams, and ponds, into specific categories like trout waters, mahseer waters, and major carp waters based on their geography and fish species. The legislation establishes a licensing and permitting system for fishing and angling activities, allowing the government to regulate who can fish where and when. By defining these zones and permissions, the rules aim to ensure the sustainable development and conservation of fish stocks in the state's diverse aquatic environments.
