I didn’t think I’d have much more to say and write about pacu fishing here in Saujana D’Rimba after writing about it a couple of times and making a few videos about it. Apparently I’m wrong.

I often get asked about how I fish for pacu and what are my tackle or gear setup like.
And since I recently had an opportunity to fish there again after my last time there 8 months ago due to lockdowns, I decided it’s a good time to talk about the subject and share my experiences.
I share the flies used, my tippet and leader setup, the fly line I regularly use, rods and reels, too. Check out the video above.
We had a good day out catching a few good fish and here are some photos.
Leave a comment below if you have some tips to share or questions for me.
I noticed the long shank hooks with hackel close to the eye of the hook, is this so the Pacu doesn’t cut the leader?
Yes. That is correct.
