In present study attempts has been made to document the fishing crafts and gears which operated in Thirumoorthy reservoir, Tamil Nadu. This investigation revealed, the post monsoon season had higher catch per unit effort of 11kg/boat/day by gillnet fishing and about 20 to 30kg/ day in cast net. Catla catla has the dominant fish species and accounted about 58% followed by Cirrhinus mrigala (29%), Labeo rohita (12%) and Cyprinus carpio (2%) against the total landings. However, three species including the Tilapia, Rohu and Mrigala were found to constitute fishery in the cast net with mean CPUE of 20 to 30 kg per day.
