Fly fishing in Borneo

Loco is back to town and brought with him 2 fly fishing sets from Paris.
This method of fishing is still an alien in Kuching...and this evening we tried it at a touristic beach with a lot of people having picnic at the beach and they had something new to watch beside the sunset,wave and the hornbill sculpture.

The tide was a little bit high..

Perfect time of the day for fishing..

but not the right time of the month..

It's full moon !!!...

But its OK,as long as you can practice..

with big space behind you..

and big sea in front of you..

the sky was a little bit hazy..

the sun was hiding...

getting better and better...

cast after cast..

the haze took away the beautiful sunset...

fly on the water

more line out..

tango in the water..

the hornbill that never fly...

the beach with lovers on Saturday evening...

new French specialty,the fly..

'Petite problem, Loco?'

 

Well..there were some small fish chasing the fly but no hook up...
Till next time..tight line..or should I say,bend it like Beckham?!!!

Hunting for the giant snakehead

We still can't get the giant snakehead by casting from the lakeshore.So,we decided to buy a small boat to navigate around the lake.Plus,we heard from a local guy around the lake that there are also another species in the lake,call 'Siong'...which are big and always swimming in a group of 5-7.
Anyway,we went to another place and caught the catfish...just to 'buang gian'.

The giant snakehead territory.

Some anglers trying their luck casting for the snakehead.3 snakeheads about 2-3kg big shown up but didn't catch their lure.

Another view of the lake.

The other part of the lake can be seen from here.But only can be reached by boat.

Sunset is nice here.

The regular catfish.

Patin again.

The ordinary day.

My friend went to Sabah last week and took this picture of the new sea creature at Pulau Manukan.Can anybody here tell me what species is this?

Since someone asked me how is a giant snakehead fish look like,below is the picture of the fish.This fish is one of the best fighter in the tropic fresh water.

Fishing forever

We went fishing again yesterday.Still using our new bait,banana.But still no colossoma that get attracted to it,one colossoma we caught still prefer the traditional bait,the earth worm.
It was not a busy day...i was lying down and almost sleep!

The new reel,Tomman GT,with flashy light when you reel it in.We called it disco reel!

The 'Sultan' also like banana!

Darlie advertisement.

Environtmental friendly.

What kind of rod is that?Lets take a closer look.

Oh...it's a Seasons,a new leading brand in fishing rod product.

And this is what it caught,a colossoma.Not bad uh!

Beautiful sunset.

Another sunset.I guess you know what you can do when the waiting is so long!Camera can be a good toy.
