[bkkguy]

Today I have a wonderful day, doing fly fishing with my Australia angler friend in Thailand.
Countless of barra on popper flies !!! Landed a few beautiful toman (snakehead) & pacu on flies too !!!


Enjoy the music vid clip I done of fly fishing in Thailand.




The story coming up...........

The morning was shinning and great but wasn't great enough for our popper flies.
All barra fishes were laying low and at the bottom of the pond.

We did catch a handful of barra on bottom flies in the morning but still our ultimate aim is to land a few on our popper flies.

After lunch, the weather slightly cooler & cloudy.
This time round, those barra fishes were just crazy about topwater popper flies.

As an avid angler himself , Patrick was landing like 1 cast 1 fish. d**n shiok !!!
I also managed to land 4-5 fishes on my popper flies yesterday.
It was fun !!!!

I was too indulged to pop the barra that I overlook checking my shock leader after 4-5 fishes landed, my popper flies got a clean cut instead.... haha !!!


Enjoys those highlights photos I captured...

A personal gift from Patrick!!!
Self made flies...






After our barramundi fishing, we proceed to another fishing ground for toman.
Patrick has always wanted to catch the toman using his flies .
Fly fishing in the wild for toman, is very challenging & difficult.

Fishing in a designated toman pond is the best he can get his flies on those ferious predator fishes...

Enjoys some of the highlights....






Closeup shots !!!

Now it time to move over to try out their pacu pond..

Patrick landed like 3-4 pacu fishe , it was much easy than the toman.
But we have to go, it was a tough day fly fishing whole day !!!!

He has been there !! Done it !!!! Now go back Australia a happy man...
He will be posting his bkk fly fishing trip back to his Australia fishing site.

Hope to see him again .....

























Hope you guys enjoy my little CR.....
