Fly Fishing for Thai Mahseer in the rivers of Khao Sok Thai Freshwater Fishing offer the ultimate guided fly fishing trips for the strong Thai Mahseer and Hampala barb in Khao Sok’s fantastic rivers. The best Mahseer fishing in Thailand ! For an optimum fishing experience we recommend fishing trips of at least three days.
Fly Fishing for Thai Mahseer and Hampala Barb is similar to fishing for trout in New Zealand or English chalk streams: the fish is very shy, but you can often spot them in the clear water (sight fishing). They will take nymphs, streamers and dry flies. The power of these fish is truly amazing: they hit hard and will put you and your gear to the test! Customers often compare the speed of the Thai Mahseer to the famous sal****er Bonefish. The biggest Thai Mahseer we have heard about in these waters was no less than thirteen kilograms! The rainy season (May to October) is the spawning season for the Thai Mahseer and the Hampala Barb. The biggest Thai Mahseer and Hampala Barb come from Cheow Lan Lake to the smaller streams and rivers to go upstream for spawning. The best time to go fly fishing for these fish is at the end of the rainy season. During the dry season stocks of Thai Mahseer up to 4 kg inhabit the pools we fish in and offer great action. You can choose to move higher up the rivers and camp overnight, (sleep in a hamock, camp near the river). Fly fishing in places where few people have been fishing before, or you can return to our camp at the end of the day. When booking a guided fishing trip with Thai Freshwater Fishing, all fly fishing equipment is included. We only use high quality gear but you are obviously more than welcome to use your own equipment if you prefer to do so.
