The fish in our lakes are comprised of several
species, some from Thailand, and others from the far flung corners of the
world. They include:
The famous Alligator Gar which is a top North American predator. It’s the largest freshwater
fish in Mississippi river and grows up to 150kg, the biggest we have in the Phuket
Freshwater Fishing Park Lake is 30kg and it is a beauty.
Arapaima is
one of the largest freshwater fishes in the world and one of the fiercest too.
We have put some in the Phuket Freshwater Fishing Lake last year and my how
they have grown already. The Arapaima, pirarucu, or paiche (Arapaima gigas) is
a South American tropical freshwater fish. It really is a living fossil and one
of the largest freshwater fishes in the world. It is very aggressive and loves
chicken, full chickens. Great Sport.
The Barramundi is an excellent fighting fish; it will jump and scrap until it is exhausted.
In the Phuket Freshwater Fishing Lake, we have recently stocked a few
Freshwater Barramundi to see how they will adapt, if they do well, we’ll definitely
be putting in more! They have been a great addition to the lake, as they are one
of the most aggressive and exhilarating predators in Thai waters.
The Giant Mekong Catfish is the biggest freshwater fish in the world. It can grow up to
400Kg, the biggest Mekong catfish we have in the Phuket Freshwater Fishing Lake
is 50kg and I promise you that is a huge fish. The Mehkong Catfish is usually
caught on bread, but who knows, they have been known to take other food stuffs
too.
The Siamese Shark from Asia is also called the Striped Catfish. It is a very bold
eating fish and will fight till the end. We have them up to 20kg in our Phuket
Freshwater Fishing Lake.
