Thailand's Fishing Methods
The Methods, baits and lures in Thailand are all different than in Europe
Thai Fishing Methods for Thai fisheries.
As a UK Angler you probably have your own ideas about
what might catch a carp or a catfish, and although western methods
might work on some western ran Thai fisheries where the fish have
been conditioned to those baits and methods, as rule out here it's different
if you want a truly authentic Thai Fishing experience.
Its all been tried before, the fancy Carp Rigs, complex bait
ingredients. There was even a well known boilie manufacturer (we
won't mention names) that was crazy enough to sponsor one of the the
UK's promising anglers to come out here, with a years free supply of
Tutti-Frutti (or some other) to catch a world record Siamese carp,
that angler, just like all the others blanked until he used.....well
in this case it was in fact rice! But usually it's Bread, Bread and
more bread!
The other commonly used bait for carp and catfish is rice bran or
in Thai "Lum" or "Ram" depending on how you listen. Rice bran can
catch catfish on a multitude of methods, float fishing, bottom
fishing, bolt style or running leads. The common denomintaor in rigs
used for fishing "lum" though are springfeeders or as we might call
them in Europe "The method". Well the Thai's where fishing the
method it seems long before the Europeans where, as without with a
cage of some kind to pack the rice bran around, there is no way of
presenting the bait!
Lures for Thailand's native predators.
When a snakehead attacks a surface lure its
can be quite vicious.
In Thailand, serious snakehead anglers use a
number of different types of lures. Anything from Frog & Lizard
Immitations and other soft plastic lures, through to sophisticated
fly patterns.The snakehead diet varies and they are opportunistic hunters. They
will feed on all kinds of fry and any terrestrials like beetles and
fluttering dragonflies touching the water's surface film.
Flies for fishing in Thailand
There is some great fly-fishing to be had with species such as
the Barramundi, and snakehead. For casting flies, the best choices
vary, but your guides will be able to assist
