Compared to last year, fishing at Dream Lake was a bit slow in early August due to the late arrival of the monsoon. However, fishing got better and better in the second half of the month. Best action was from late afternoon until midnight with many nice carp and redtail catfish in prime condition being caught. Paradise lake produced excellent results with catfish weighing between 56lb and 64lb being caught every week together with countless fish between 30lb and 45lb. Mae Ngat Dam was the venue of the month for lure fishing, with several huge snakeheads up to 6.7kg getting caught on deep-diving lures.
