No monster, just plenty of fun that day on the water (Watch the video at the end of the post).
That’s how I’d sum up fishing with Phil that day – only the small ones came out to play.
It is Phil’s first experience with peacock bass and being a busy man, the urban peacock bass population seem to be the best choice for a quick session.
The action was not particularly hot that day although the weather was. Still we had plenty of fun and Phil managed a couple of fish on fly.
Peacock bass was introduced into Malaysia sometime in the 1990s
Even small peacock bass can put up a decent fight making them a great sport fish
This is a bonus fish. The fly got snagged at the bottom but as soon as it got free, this peacock bass hit the fly!
All fish are released. Most peacock bass here hang around the drop-offs near the shore of the lake.
The scene can’t get anymore urban than this
