Saturday 10th March – Was a very busy again at the Lodge. After Friday’s pouring rain, the fish were feeding again. Today, it was the Arapaima in the bottom pond that were active, with, amongst others, 3 of them, caught by Thomas Dovling and his party. Thomas has been fishing here many times and has never managed to catch an Arapaima before this visit. He has also donated a very fine RAPALA weighing net and scales (up to 25 Kg) to the Lodge. Thank you, Thomas – and of course RAPALA.
These scales were put to fine use, when returning ‘Day PACKAGE’ customer, Jesper Jakobsen pulled a nice 22.38 Kg Giant Mekong Catfish from our top pond. (Almost 50 lb in old money).
Christelle Bardez and her partner also joined us on the bottom pond and bagged a good Asian Redtail, an Alligator Gar, some Pacu and some Siamese Carp from the top pond.
For our other visitors, some Siamese Carp (Some to around 19 Kg) and plenty of Suwai & Pacu to keep the kids amused, plus a late Amazon Redtail for Jesper – All in all a fairly good day.

George Sidgwick
George Sidgwick joined us 5 times during his holiday in Hua Hin. He has sent us these great pics of just SOME of his catch.
Pacu, Giant Siamese Carp, some really nice Amazon Redtail Catfish, some Alligator Gar and the Arapaima that he was after. But the two stars of his visit were a rare appearance of a delightful Rohu and a strikingly beautiful Chao Phraya Catfish – both from our bottom pond. Thanks and well done George.
Daniel
Daniel fished with us at the Lodge last year and managed to get an Alligator Gar.
He returned yesterday 01/02/18 on our ‘day package’ to try for amongst other species, some Arapaima.
I’ve been out and about today and Daniel’s camera has broken – but – we managed to get these few photos of today’s exploits.
Apart from several Pacu, and copious amounts of Suwai Catfish, Daniel managed to get himself a couple of Giant Siamese Carp, another good Alligator Gar, a Giant Mekong Catfish and 3 Arapaima – the smallest of which is shown here.
He has promised to return for some Amazon Redtail Catfish, Chao Phrya Catfish, Asian Redtail Catfish, Wallagu, Julien’s Carp and a few other niceties that the Lodge can throw at him…………
😉

Great stuff Daniel – look forward to your next visit.

Chao Phrya Catfish, Alligator Gar (2) and an Asian Redtail Catfish were his new experiences. There were many other Giant Siamese Carp, Pacu and Suwai Catfish and an Arapaima. Well – variety is the spice of life – well done Peter and thanks for your continued support.

He has always had successes on both ponds and is still the only person to catch 2 Wallagu in one visit and one more on a later visit. The pictures were taken in October 2016 and September 2017. One picture is of his charming wife Renate who was normally behind the camera.

Thank you Rainer, for sharing them with us, and thank you for your continued patronage. Hope to see you both again soon.
