We
offer world-class guided fly fishing trips to
the pristine jungle
rivers in Khao Sok national park - legendary
Thai fishing locations for big Thai Mahseer and
Hampala Barb. The rivers we fish are located in
the heart of Khao Sok National Park, 180 km
north-east of Phuket in southern Thailand.
They are surrounded by mountains
of over 1000 meters and dense rainforest with
amazing wildlife, bird life, flora, waterfalls,
wild elephants, otters, monkeys, buffalos,
bears, and leopards. Fly
fishing in these gin
clear rivers is very similar to trout fishing in
streams or rivers; the fish takes nymphs, dry
flies and streamers. Our trips are all-inclusive
and use of top brand Fly fishing equipment and
waders is included. We welcome anglers of all
skill levels, and we are happy to instruct
beginners how to use the flyfishing equipment
and to cast and approach the fish. We want your
experience here to be truly enjoyable. With
over two decades of experience guiding clients
throughout Thailand let www.bluewater-anglers.com
create a personalized Thai fly fishing trip for
you.
Our
guided fly fishing trips to the Khao Sok Rivers
are multi-day trips due to the remote location
of the rivers, a minimum 3 day trip is
recommended for the best fishing result. All fly
fishing equipment plus waders are included in
our packages, but if you prefer to use your own
equipment you are welcome to do so, we use class
5-7 rods and reels with floating lines and
leaders with fluorocarbon tippets.
You
can often spot the fish in the clear river and
to cast your fly to them is great
sport. You will be amazed by power of the first
run of a Thai Mahseer or a big Hampala Barb. The
Fly fishing in these rivers is similar to fly
fishing for Trout in rivers or streams, the
Mahseer and the Barb takes streamers, wet flies,
nymphs and big dry flies and a stealthy approach
is very important. Undeniably, the Mahseer
is one of the fiercest fighting freshwater game
fish in existence. Pound for pound it had
unparalleled strength and
endurance.
In
our packages we also include: transfer from
Phuket International Airport or from any Phuket
or Khao Lak hotel, all meals during the trip,
mineral drinking water, fruit of the season,
accommodation at a jungle camp that consists of
basic floating raft houses made from locally
obtained sustainable materials that blend in
with the environment. There is no TV or
air-conditioning, and this fishing experience is
targeted at adventurous anglers who are looking
for the REAL jungle experience and are prepared
to do without luxury home comforts for a few
days! There are very few mosquitoes and no
Malaria in the area. We fish here all-year
round, the rainy season (mid May to mid October)
is the spawning time for the Mahseer and for the
Barb and some of the biggest fish in the area
moves upstream to spawn, this is prime time to
catch fish over 5kg size. During the dry season
a very healthy stock of fish up to 4 kg fish
inhabits the pools we fish in and offers great
action. The Thai Mahseer is not a fish suitable
for human consumption and the area is a sport
fishing area only, so the future of this fishing
is secured.
We
only fly fish in wild waters, no artificial
lakes or stocked fishing parks and our trips are
personalized for max 2 anglers at the time. Our
foreign staff are legally working in Thailand
and holds valid work permits and also speaks
