My wife has been catching a few fish in the fishfarm draining stream in our garden.

What are the general rules for fishing the lakes and rivers ?

You can take a look at this-hope it help some how.

Can not find anything,but I think if it is a river,you may have to ask the land lord-the same whit lakes-some times it is a small village who have the rights to fish there-and you may have to pay a small amount to them.

Think when you find a place-ask the people who live there-they will know.

should give you a start.

Or you could try searching in the forum searc for "ianforbes fishing" that member is no longer active but he has a lot of information there on fishing.

Personally I think sitting under the tree next to the river is fine but it breakes up the concentration having to pull all the fish in.

Will do, I have fished most of my life and do not mind the odd bite

Unfortunately up river on the mae kok i have seen several times that they put nets across the entire river to try and catch every fish...obviously too much of this will impact the fish populations pretty dramatically. I have to say that i have seen a lot of people fishing in the mae kok around chiang rai but i have NEVER seen anyone catch a single fish...maybe i just am there at the wrong time. I think you'll have better luck in lakes.

I have seen many people fishing in the canals around the commercial fish ponds, catching escapees after the ponds have been drained. I also see them fishing in Yonok Lake from the bank, they use a crossbow/gun baitcaster - I must spend some time observing their method as I have heaps of fishing gear in OZ I will be sending to my new home (though I might leave the 14' brachcaster (

There are many people fishing in the canals around the fish farms

The first thing I caught in Chiangrai on my brand new wizz bang rod was a tree. I set it up at home and said to my better half I will test it by doing a little cast down my driveway. I cast away and the hook and sinker firmly caught on a branch about 3 mtrs up our tree. After a lot of pulling I lost the hook and sinker to the branch. I still walk down our driveway every now and then and look up at the hook and sinker dangling there. I have caught only fish on it since.
