Rayong Dam is a highly scenic wild fishing location which has swathes of natural fish holding structure to fish amongst. Flooded forests and fallen trees can be found at various parts of the dam offering sanctuary for the highly elusive and sought after Snakehead.
The fishing is suited to intermediate to experienced lure fishermen and requires a degree of accuracy when casting towards the various natural structure. As in all wild fishing situations anglers will need to work for every fish making the experience of fishing for such wild predatory species against such a scenic rural backdrop all the more exhilarating.
