When I was in Chaing Mai I booked a fishing trip and was taken to a place called ‘Dream Lake’ www.dreamlake-fishing.com When I arrived I maybe expected to relax maybe catch a few fish hopefully some double figure fish but actually it was quite the opposite!!!
Using some standard carp rods the guide took a method feeder and suspended it right beneath a big float, he then formed a ball of bread and cake around the feeder and launched a huge bread ball into the lake… within 3 minuites the line went screaming off the reel and the guide struck hard twice tightened up the drag and passed me the rod, after 15 minuites of hard fighting I netted my first 28lb Big Wye Catfish.
The continued to be a sucess and we landed 21 catfish ranging from 7lb to 48 1/2lb, not including the possible 10 or 12 fish that snapped the 30lb line or came off. Anyone travelling thailand must have a go, there are some really big fish out there to catch.
Photos will follow shortly otherwise see my facebook page and search Giant Mekong Catfish.
