Bungsamran Fishing Lake

Bungsanram there is no other fishing lake like it in the world, hard core fishing. It started about twenty years ago. Around 20 acres of water, 1 meter deep around the edges and about 5 meters deep at the center where the board walk is built across the lake. It was stocked from the 554 acre, world fishing park in miniburi. Stocked with large Mekong Catfish and Siamese Carp. Since then it has had giant Arapaima added to the lake. There is lots of other type of fish in the lake. I do believe it holds 10 or 11 world records. If you want to specify a particular fish species then it is best you plan your fishing tour around it. If you want arm breaking action and loads of fun, go for the Mekong Catfish, all out action and thousands of fish ready to take your bait. These fish really don’t care how many times they get caught. They are very strong and competitive for the bait. You will still need a fishing guide to catch these fish in large numbers and of course the really big ones. You will need the experience of a guide to land and help you to get them in. Very important a photo shoot. You will be very disappointed if you travel to Thailand and hook a really big one and can’t get it in.

If you want to catch Siamese Catfish and you are a carp fisherman, then you will know this is a different game all together. They are more weary and don’t like to be hooked. This is when you really need a top guide and that is Boy real name Wuttichai. All Thai,s have nic names. More about Siamese carp on this page SIAMESE CARP

We at Big Fish Thailand will Guarantee at Bungsamran that you will catch a catfish fish over 42lbs / 20kgs or we will forfeit any profit we make or stay with you until you get above that weight. It's your choice. Catch a really big fish. Boy and his fishing guides will put their reputation on the line. They are by fore the best fresh water fisherman team in Thailand.
