Half price fishing and accommodation for anglers fishing a minimum of 3

John Wilson MBE, sadly passed away in November 2018, but his legend
lives on at the idyllic fishery he created in Thailand. Bung Sawan. With the
new owners Richard and his partner Rainy, the fishery is in very good, and
capable hands. Set on a secluded private estate in a rural area,
fishing in a very peaceful and tranquil area for massive exotic fish, this is a
true angling paradise!

The lake has four very comfortable and shaded swims, each equipped with
fish weighing equipment, and precision scales.
The original lakes' stock of fish has thrived over the last few years, and have
gained significantly in weight. Some huge fish have been added to the
original stocking and several new species like Salween Rita Catfish, Tarpon,
huge Walagoo Leary and several others have greatly improved the fishery.

Each angler is provided with 2 rods each, one predator rod, and one non
predator rod. If predators are not your main target, you can choose to fish
with two non predator rods instead. All reels are baitrunner reels, and you
are supplied with bite alarms and all rigs and hooks required. Each angler is
supplied with a large 5kg bowl of pellet groundbait, 1kg mackerel dead baits,
and 1kg big pellets for feeding / hookbait pellets.

Fishing is limited to 4 swims per day and no other anglers will be allowed to fish.
A whole lake private booking is secured with just a 2 angler booking! An
incredible opportunity in these very busy times on the Thai fishing scene.

The lake is well but sensibly stocked with all the main species we have come to
love and expect in Thailand, Arapaima, Amazon Redtail Catfish, Alligator Gar,
Giant Siamese Carp, Rohu, Giant Mekong Catfish, Pacu, Cheow Phraya Catfish,
Cutler Carp, Tiger Catfish, Ripsaw Catfish, Tilapia and Julien’s Golden Price Carp.

One of the most productive methods is float fishing with light tackle close to
the margins which works very well for the Carp and Barb species.
Predator fishing with live or dead baits works well for the many Catfish species
and the much sought after Arapaima.

Excellent comfortable accommodation is available at the lake consisting of
two double rooms equipped with a large smart TV with YouTube and Netflix,
tea and coffee making, large fridge with soft drinks, beer and Smirnoff Ice.

The lake is located in the province of Chumpon which is roughly half way
between Phuket and Bangkok which makes it a great stop over venue for
anglers on one of our multi venue road trips. Another great way to experience
this lake is to combine your visit with a trip to Cheow Lan Lake which is only a
2.5 hour drive away or Exotic or Krabi lakes which are 3.5 hours away.
Alternately this can be a standalone trip, but we recommend a minimum of 2
days if possible.

What’s Included:

Transport to the lake and back to your hotel after the fishing.

All fishing equipment and bait.

Highly experienced very friendly fishing guide.

Private fishing hut.

Lakeside accommodation for multi day anglers.
