Finally, the Reservoir in the City is completed. The water has now changed from salt to fresh and local fishes are able to survive in the reservoir. The PUB had accepted the White Papers and had allowed fly fishing in the Reservoir in the City for the local fly fishing community. The local fly fishing community are not resting on their laurels, but are busy educating the public and helping to conserve the environment so that the fishing and fish stock can be sustained indefinately in our small country. Many tourist are arriving to the newly Intergrated Resort armed with fishing rods too. Unknowingly, there was a demand for fly fishing guides, fishing tackle shops and boats. The opening of the Reservoir has created another source of employment for the local fishermen. Let me show you what I caught today at the Reservoir in the City. A small tilapia. Tomorrow I will come and try again and hope to catch one of the Giant Peacock Basses which had so far eluded me like the kaluis. Because today I just woke up and realised that I was only dreaming. ;D

Hey Billy, I had tis idea sometimes back before I came to join your forum. I even wrote about it in the NewAsia forum when they wanted to open reservoirs for wake boarding. I suggested to the STPB that this can generate funds into to Singapore and attracting tourist here for flyfishing but there was no response. When I was doing my partime fishing guide, I have ppl from overseas asking me about flyfishing in Singapore and it was sad that I had to tell them, most of the places we fish here is illegal. Atleast you guys here share the same idea as me. I think we should work on this for the 2nd Phase. Cheers ;D

I know this is an old thread, but I'm planning a trip to Bintan via Singapore on Sept 16 to Sept 19.
What kind of fly fishing options are there in Singapore? How about Bintan?
