Freshwater BIG GAME and Fly fishing - October 2011

  • Unfortunately as yet I don't have any further details of our member, Eric Robert's trip, just the images that follow. Looks though as if he had a great time with an impressive range of species. And the freshwater Stingray takes 'big game' angling to a completely different dimension.


    The fly caught fish came from one of the country's commercial fisheries and the Stingray, and Eric had six in one day, the largest estimated at 200kgs, on 130lb class tackle. 200kgs? I understand they grow a fair bit larger than that!

  • And some more images.


    Just to point out the Mekong Catfish and Arapaima were taken on deadbaits as were the Stingray, the rest were all taken on fly gear.
