Amazing Thailand fishing days for German angler Florian Hennhöfer during his fishing holiday at dreamlake resort in Chiang Mai. Florian managed to hook into some real beauties at the best fishing lakes in North Thailand. On his first day Whilst ledgering on the bottom using sausage as hook bait, he caught Red tail catfish, tiger shovelnose catfish and alligator gar. that same afternoon he fished with a float and a live bait near the surface, targeting one of our big peacock bass. Unfortunately, the bass ignored his bait totally, nevertheless one of our very rare chao prayha catfish picked up his bait and put up an awesome fight on his light tackle setup. After a 40min battle with the big cat she was landed and estimated to a perfect specimen size of 75lb.

Florian also wanted to try the most challenging Thailand fishing game which is lure fishing for snakehead's. We spent a half day session at Mae Ngat dam in Chiang mai and managed to land young snakehead individuals up to 5lb. Unfortunately a massive jungle perch (hampala barb), in specimen size, got lost right in front of the landing net.

Florian went to paradise lake as well for a half day session and bagged a double figure haul of mekong catfish (max. 56lb) in addition to striped catfish (max.32lb)
