Anglers visiting this venue will feel a sense of satisfaction when catching fish from this venue as it can be a challenging water at times. Sunken trees and twisted root systems line its banks giving cover to one of Asia’s most aggressive and sought after predatory fish the ‘Snakehead’.

Floating fishing lodges are positioned at various parts of the lake and serve as basic accommodation and as a base from which to mount your exploratory trips to your chosen fishing areas.

This amazing venue is best fished after heavy rains when water from the nearby lime stone peaks floods down through the dense bank side jungle carrying insects and other food items down into the lake.
