Catching an extremely rare fish species is often a once-in-a-lifetime affair, and often by a stroke of luck too. But when such incredible opportunity presents itself for you to catch a rare species in good quantity and quality, it definitely sounds too good to be true.
Here is the fairy tales… pg010

The last decade has seen me travelling worldwide to almost every part of the world to explore new exciting freshwater fish species, from the elusive Indian Goonch to the Papuan Black Bass. But one corner of the world has been overlooked until recently - Iran - due to little publicity on the fish species there and the regular disturbances of wars and terrorism. Heck, it’s actually here that one can still find the biggest 'barbel of the world, Barbus esocinus , a.k.a the King Barbus, which can grow to over 50kg, or even over 100kg ! pg010

Being the second smallest state in the country without the blessing of prominent river systems, Malacca is the least to be expected of becoming a focal point among freshwater anglers. The discovery of Cichla Temensis, the largest and most ferocious member of the Peacock Bass family in the Jus Reservoir has, however, suddenly catapulted Malacca to the frontline of freshwater luring in the country.  pg008

A fishing veteran once told me, the more you fish, the more you don’t know about fish and fishing. And the more you fish, the more you don’t know about mankind too, he added. I was not sure what he meant then, but now in the so-called ‘mellowing stage’ (read pending
retirement), I too begin to appreciate these words of wisdom. Like many hobbies and sports, fishing is a dynamic game with rules dictated by man, which means that it is always changing, often tomankind’s whims and fancies. This artificial game is made even more
intriguing and challenging too, as we are dealing with fish, another highly evolved living thing in another world totally different from ours. As pointed out in this issue of Rod & Line in the investigative article penned by Dr. David Popp on the ‘fear factor’ of certain fish
species based on his years of observations (see page 46), there are just too many things about the world of fish that mankind is ignorant of or can never be understood. Heck, maybe this is why fishing has become so addictive to the extent of insanity!
In our never-ending pursuit for better and more effective fishing methods using rod and line, new ideas and new gadgets naturally emerge in our dire attempts to become a more effective hunter, never mind the netters and long-liners. From the simple wooden hook and
spear, the hunting instruments now include a wide array of electrical and digital gear aided by hightech electronic fish-finding devises. The latest to jump onto the bandwagon is the remote-controlled Drone (more info on page 8), which allows mankind to carry out one-sided
aerial assaults on our poor counterparts in the boxing ring. What do mankind want out of fishing, really?

The Donkey Fun There are few rigs I have seen thus far which can be classified as ‘love at first sight’. One of them is the ‘Donkey Rig’, a visually very exciting two-lure rig which could easily arouse the interest of the angler concerned, if not the fishes. Even if} Fishing Experiments `By CS Fong

The Green Arowana Haven
A Privileged Encounter with the Living Fossil Arowana (Kelisa) is one of the most ancient, exclusive and elusive sportfishes in Malaysia. Even though the living fossil is reported to exist in many parts of the country, anglers’ encounter with this species is extremely rare. As such, we are indeed extremely lucky and privileged to have a chance to lock horns with this acrobatic dancer in its natural home ground. pg08

Slow Jigging Hook Poser 2-hooks vs 4-hooks.Personally, I think placing 4 assist hooks on the metal jig is over-doing it. As far as I am concerned, if most of the fishes caught are found to be hooked on the body instead of the mouth, there is a lack of sense of achievement and satisfaction. I am convinced that placing 2 assist hooks on the jig is good enough for the job, and the results of my recent field trips are quite self-evident on my conviction. pg06

【Chasing The Tiger. In the Okavango Delta of Botswana】
I managed to get some of my line back when the aerial ballet started again. I felt the fish accelerate and ready to initiate a series of spectacular stunts. From the corner of my eye I saw my fishing guide twirling across the boat to grab the landing net. This magnificent duet stopped only thirty seconds later - which seemed like an eternity - when he managed to catch the Tigerfish in mid-air...

“Malaysia’s Mini BungsamranPlabuk Extravaganza”
The Dramatic Turn-around of Hulu Langat Fishing Resort

Over the years, many Malaysian commercial fishing pond operators have viewed the highly acclaimed Bungsamran freshwater pond in Bangkok as the most successful model and have been attempting to establish a similar one in Malaysia but to no avail. It seems that the latest Hulu Langat Fishing Resort located not far from KL, has finally found the answer…
