Repeat peat peat peating

Well, there is a trend here, normally when a new pay pond opens and the fishing is good, it attracts a lots of anglers around KL until it will be overfished. Even if it is a catch and release pond, after lots and lots of anglers come around and keep catching and releasing the fish, the fish will later becomes very wary of lures and they started not to bite it anymore.

Thus, I wind up going to this Barramundi pay pond in Banting again even though I just went there few weeks ago. I was really determined to catch the Barras on lures but I somehow ending doing fly fishing until the end of the day.

For your information, they haven't restock the fishes since the last time I went there, but thank god there are still many left. Its a good idea to have a pond where they recycle the fish often.

I did enjoy fly fishing here maybe its because the pond is small and there is no need for distance casting. Most of the time I will be practicing my cast, controlling the loop, and once a while, there will be a hookup.

Anyway, enjoy the photos.

 Anyway, the flies that I use is still Crazy Charlie, slow retrieve. I did tried Clouser but no luck in getting solid hookup.

I also invite my colleague to join me.
Apparently his friend catches more than him
Fishing is not only about the catch, but also the company that you bring along

My colleague jerked so hard that it ends up tangled at a tree behind him

And the tree full with Red Ants, talk about bad luck
