The Journey (Part 3 of 3 - Sweet Child of Mine)

Welcome to the final post of this 3 part report of this mahseer fishing trip.

I get to fish with Jason who is on his first trip to Chiew Lan.

Jason caught some fish on the days before but nothing to write home about and expressed his hope to possibly catch a bigger one. So I told him I will try to fix that (fingers crossed).

Murky River

Rain the day before has turned the water murky in this river, one that is easiest to get cloudy as this particular river is quite muddy.

We trekked a long way to search for fish as the conditions have changed from two days ago.

Where there was plenty of fish then, there were none to be seen in the same stretches.

However, the river did not totally disappoint as we were still blessed with a couple of fish and Jason managed to get his biggest, yet!

Check out some pictures from part 3…

Don’t forget to slow down and soak in the atmosphere

Oh what a glorious glow. The fishing starts here.
