Natural Exotic Fish Fishing Pond in Behrang

The pond with the longest name, Natural Exotic Fish Fishing Pond (NEFFP), moved to this new location in Behrang, Perak in 2017.

We prefer to call this place EXOTIC POND which is not such a mouth full, and sound much sexier! What do you think?

Previously located in Rawang, Selangor – this popular fishing pond for monster freshwater fish relocated a distance of 66km from its old home.

Fish Species

There are many species of fish in here (about 20 species) as you can see below including some rare species. This pond provides many anglers the opportunity to experience catching fish species that would otherwise be very difficult to find in their wild habitats.

It will be a challenge however to catch many of them other than the more abundant and aggressive ones.

Commonly caught fish species here are:

  • Chaophraya catfish
  • Giant Mekong catfish
  • Amazon redtail catfish
  • Other species stocked in here are displayed in the photo below

The place is quite huge resembling a complex of sorts and lots of white structures making the place almost feel clinical.

The pond is U-shaped and fishing is done in the middle.

Bait fishing and lure casting is easy but not so much if you intent to do some fly fishing as there is really only one open space available.

To fly fish you need a quiet day with little to no other anglers about and watch that back cast!

Some Catches

The chaophraya catfish are the most ferocious here if you’re after violent power and speed.
One of the most desired target species is the very aggressive and strong Chaophraya catfish

Most of the chaophraya catfish in here are huge (up to 70kg last checked) and they’ll readily eat lures and flies.

The amazon redtails are everywhere and pulls like a truck!
Catching these monster fish are most thrilling with artificial lures, but can be challenging.

As you can see from the pictures above, the Amazon redtail are the most aggressive/hungry/greedy/willing to bite, at least on that day.

A couple of fish was dropped by everyone including a Chaophraya catfish that took JW’s fly and put up a brief show of power before dropping the hook as well.
