Malaysia 2009/2010

[slb]

Just returned from a great fun holiday, meeting old contacts for the first time and finding out more about fishing in this fabulous country.
My main objective was to catch a rohu. After two hours of vainly feeding and fishing pellets (they work brilliantly in India, why not here?), I hooked one on sweetcorn at depth.

A few more fish, including some nice Lampam (Java Barbs) and another rohu rounded off a good first session.

After the New Year, I got another chance to bag a few and put this net together on the waggler and corn again:

Nice one Steve ,looking at that river I would be very concerned if some unseen creature grabbed one of those fish on the way in, God knows what lurks down there.

Very nice. Whereabouts were you? I've fished Penang around Batu Ferringi but only ever caught catfish there. Those fish of yours look great!

Dave, that is a lake, not a river. There are still some pretty ugly things in there though. At least one Mekong Cat pushing towards a ton and loads of Featherbacks that probably love to eat Lampam.

Geoff, it is on a pay pond just south of KL. Place is called Fish Valley ;-)

Okay. Looks like a nice spot for a fish-in!:wh
