Fishing Venues

[mcfester]

Hi,

I'm looking for good fishing venues in central Thailand, anybody got any info?

I'm located in Pecthabun, near the border to Lopburi.

[Khutan]

I am interested in this one myself.

I know there is a Fishing place In Surin on HWY 24, beyond that I don't have any others to suggest.

[mcfester]

I've been reading about Bung sam Lan lake near Bangkok that looks great but can't find any directions to where it is.

[bkkmadness]

I want to go fishing there myself, I just done a quick search for it and just found this pic of the biggest carp I have ever seen, have a look:

Bung Bora Pet just outside Nakhon Sawan is supposed to be very good, usually see people fishing around there. Its supposed to be the biggest sourse of freshwater fish in thailand. Not really into it myself so cant give you more details sorry

we pasted that last month and called, its more like a big fish farm and the wife said you couldn't fish there, might be wrong though.

Just located Bung san lan near BKK on the map, its Bang Kapi on the 304 road, funnily enough were going to Min Buri to pick up a mate tomorror so will call in and check out the prices etc.

Now thats strange about Bung Borapet cos I've only ever seen people fishing there,(rod and line) and never seen any fish farms.

Try this link for Bung san lan

Your more than likely correct, its a massive lake so they probly have the farms fenced in. I've seen the farms on the 225 road where the water authority is, where do the people fish?

I usually pass on the road opposite that one the 3004, there is a small road off that to the lake, not sure if you need a licence or what. I cant say that I've been there often or even paid that much attention, but I have definatly seen people fishing there

Can you fish for salmon in Thailand?

It's probably too hot for them isn't it.

[meadish_sweetball]

You can get fairly good quality salmon in (usually Japanese) restaurants in Thailand - it doesnt taste as if it's been frozen and then defrosted as far as I can tell.

Any ideas from where they get these? Are they bred locally from pacific salmon, or imported?

Heard imported mostly from Norway.

Alaskan salmons are hard to be found here and if available a lot more expensive than Norwegian salmon.

There is a small lake here in Bang Bua Thong that you can fish in for about 50baht a day (ithink that's the price) and a fairly big canal (I call it that) that you can fish in for free here also. Will be checking it out soon and will let everyone know.

Bambi, where is this place on the river and do they charge to fish there?

Let's go fishing.

Nothing like sitting on the beach and having a few beers.

Unless of course you can do the deep sea version and that is the best.

Most of the salmon available is Atlantic Salmon imported from Tasmania which also supplies a large % of the Japanese market With the same species.

[ProfessorFart]

Just to add my fave fishing spot to this list even though its a way from the OP is at the estuary of the River Chan in Chanthaburi near Laem Singh. The fishing in this area is very good especially during the wet season when you get the nutrients all washing from upcountry to the sea.

Why is Atlantic salmon imported through Tasmania???

That's a long way to go fishing from Tasmania.

It's not imported through Tasmania, it's imported from Tasmania. Just like chili was brought here from South america and farmed here, Salmon has been imported from Europe/Canada and is being farmed in Tasmania.

It's not as tasty as the scotch wild salmon tho!

i ask one shop selling fishing gear near my place, they told me , nice way to do a fishing trip is to go near the river kwai bridge and get a barge and sleep and fish from there ...

Anyone try this before ? or similar ? like rent a cabin ?

I have a plan to hire one of those big houseboat/barges for the weekend and take the whole family out on it. They were quite reasonable in price, I just can't remember how much.

There seem parts of the river that look so beautiful where you can see to the bottom of the river and see the fisk swimming around.

Another place that looks interesting is a resort that is on a small river-island, you could sit on the front of your porch and hang a line over.

[simcity]

hi mattnich , do you have the name of the resort ? perhaps telephone number !

i want to take my silly dog with me , and will prefert stable ground !

[Khutan]

I can't remember - sorry. I found it when I was on a long-tail boat, and went down-river from Kanchanaburi.

I will ask my wife to see if she remembered. Otherwise you may be able to google it.
