Lure Fishing

The lake fishing offers some fantastic lure fishing; in the weedy and submerged trees areas, hide the lake’s predators, ready to attack an inattentive prey.

Many times, the best fishing areas are the banks and shallow flats with vegetation, structure and shade cover. Which are also the habitat for baitfish and many of the jungles water reptiles and amphibians the predatory fish feed on. Fishing in these areas with different styles of top-water baits like; Buzz-Bait, Soft Plastic Frogs, Jump Frog poppers and “Walk-the-Dog” style of lures are all great, when they are fished properly.

The Top-water fishing is not only very productive; but also, a great thrill, since most of the predatory fish hit with an extreme aggression and power; watching a calm surface suddenly explode, can make most angler totally addicted!!

We also use different types of crankbaits and jigs from time to time. There are days or conditions and times in the season, where diving lures are more productive. But also, some species like, the Asian River Catfish and Featherback are fish that normally reside in deeper water and will require a lure fished deep to be successful.

Fly Fishing

The lake fly fishing covers everything from casting big popper flies and streamers to delicate presentations of dry flies and Nymph.

The fly fishing requires different techniques and skills from the fly angler; depending on which species you wish to target. The lake’s most aggressive predator fish like; Snakehead and Hampala Barb and the Mahseer can be caught in different ways. Blind casting and stripping some streamers or poppers, can be productive. When using this technique, it will be good, if you master a good “double haul”. But an accurate 60-foot cast is better than a long bomb.

In the right conditions and if you have the patience; it takes to spot the fish. The lake hides some fantastic and very exciting sight fishing. Where the Snakehead fly fishing, is about speed and accurate casting. Fly fishing for Giant Gourami and partly Mahseer requires a more delicate and careful presentation of your fly.
