Took a friend and her son out to a small lake near NS for the afternoon.

While all around were hauling out the fish he had plenty of misses. After a few blanks and a long face, he caught a couple of nice sized fish that he struggled to reel in. That put the smile back on his face

See photo

All in all a good day, people around helped him get set up initially with equipment and bait and then we sort of blundered along a bit until we found some method in our madness. Well worth the couple of 100 Baht.

Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life always seem the best

Looks like a genuine smiling face in the pic.

I'll be up that way in a couple of months, could you tell me where that is?

I know Big C, Makro and the bar area around the big park with a lake in it, thats about it.

I'll drive out there in the next 2 days and take the 'Sat Nav' with me and get the name right before I post where it is.

The lake seems to be private but people can pay to fish there. For 2 rods and bait it cost me about 300 Baht - I wasn't really thinking about the cost at the time.

On Sundays it seems there is usually a competition on. Not speaking a lot of Thai, I cannot really say a lot more about it.

I do know those that catch the best fish use some additives

Take the road to Phitsanulok (117) from NS and as you head out of town go over the river bridge (3 lanes here).

A couple of hundred metres along on the right hand side you will see an Isuzu sign set back from the road a little way.

A few hundred metres further along on the left is a yellow sign with shrimps on it (don't blink or you will miss it!!) and a U turn on the right. You can see the small lake from the road.

Turn left here and down a very short dirt road and you are at the lake.

I did see 2 Farang fishing there today.

My Thai friend says she does not know the name of the place. The sat nav does not give it a name either.But those directions should get you there.

Beer, food and some fishing tackle available.

What more could you want LOL.

Thanks for the detailed directions, much appreciated.

I stay in Lansak, near Uthai Thani when in Thailand.

I will go to Nakon Sawan for a couple of days to get away for a while.

I will definetly get to the fishing park.

I'll be there in early Febuary.

Mai pen rai.

Happy fishing

I went to the park yesterday.

2 rods 2 buckets of bread, some water = 450bht.

Caught about 7 or 8 fish in the 3 to 4 kilo range. Good fighters and good fun. You are allowed to take 1 kilo of fish home but I dont know how that works unless you catch a 1 kilo fish.

Your directions were easy to follow, about 5 mins from Pimarn hotel.

Competition on Sundays, 590bht entry and 12000bht for biggest fish.

I also saw people fishing for shrimp, I didn't know you could catch them on a hook.

Thanks again for the info.

Good to hear you caught a few fish and had a good time and I am happy the directions were OK

I did see people 'fishing' for shrimps in the tank as they sat and had a beer or two and some food. Whatever you catch is put in a bag and you can take them home.

As for taking 1 kilo of fish home with you, maybe four or five people have to divi 1 fish up LOL

12,000 baht is a decent prize. I knew they had the competition but had no idea of the rules.

Happy fishing
