James from the UK fished for predators only and had a very successful day with 5 Arapaima’s, easily over 10 nice redtails and his first ever Aligator Gar… to top the day off I managed to sneek in a nice Juliens Golden Prize Carp..,, thank you James and we look forward to your next visit ,

Lizzy and Mae are visiting us on a 4 day horse riding course but this morning they thought they would try their hand at a bit of predator fishing and landed three lovely Amazon Redtail Catfish ranging 8kg – 10.5kg (17lb – 22lb) well done and not bad for 1st time!

locally bought tackle does not seem to be up to the job with at least 4 rods recently snapped in two so today we were testing the ‘ free spirit ‘ rods we have brought over from the UK.. they give a nice feel for the fish whilst at the same time being capable to subdue our largest residents…. together with the Shimano big bait runners we find this the ideal combination for our lake….. rod pod and Fox alarms are also provided…

A good days predator fishing for Phil from Canada with his target fish landing 3 Arapaima, numerous Amazon Redtail, some nice carp and his first Julien’s.. we look forward to seeing you again next year Phil!

Late night delivery of fifteen more giant mekong catfish, weighing in at 45kg (99lb) – 55kg (121lb) making them just a little more catchable than the heavier ones.. the lake was purposely adjusted to depths of 6 metre to help accommodate these very powerful fighting fish..

A lovely variety of carp coming out, stocked with over 40 species and many more very exciting additions coming soon ..

Resident Angler Bob very happy with his first Aligator Gar – (pla jarakay …) taken on a piece of fresh pork..

Very good stock of Julien’s Golden Prize Carp ..
