I recently dropped by at one of their clinic held at Fish Valley, Semenyih. It is a bit far for most anglers but which good fishing hole doesn’t take some traveling to get to?


Fish Valley has many fishing ponds in a nice setting. Among the fishes that anglers can put their fishing tackle to the test here are the Giant Mekong Catfish, various big carps, Pacu, African catfishes and lots more in the mix of the regular fishes. A couple of Arapaima was also introduced into one of the ponds recently.

Paul Arden of Sexyloops is Coming to Town
My fly fishing and fly casting skill in particular can do with some help, lots of help. Really, my fly casting suck.
Thankfully, help is on the way in the form of fly casting guru Paul Arden of Sexyloops.
I can’t wait to pick-up some casting tips from the man himself when he’s in Kuala Lumpur.
Pretty soon my broad ugly loops will be transformed into tight sexy loops! Ooh La La!

Haruan 101 – Sneaking Up on a Fish
Haruan fish or Striped Snakehead (Channa Striata)
This is the first of our Haruan 101 series. This will hopefully be a useful fishing reference guide to you for this ubiquitous snakehead fish.

Oops, I Did It Again!
I have personally spooked many haruan while approaching a swim. So many times that I have lost count of it. It happened again yesterday. Eagerly approaching a swim eyeing the activities on the open waters, sudden swirls and a huge splash occurred just to my left where the grassy area was flooded in barely 30 cm of water.
