Fishy Facts

You are likely to catch Catfish and Sankeheads, types of fish found in the drainage ditches of rice paddies and Pear Spot further towards the middle of the lake. Bring you own fishing gear along, though the locals have their own innovations. One of the methods employed for catching these fish involves the use of dead cockroaches or half boiled Tapioca as bait and handlining. Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and  is still common. The locals also use coconut palm fronds as improvised rods.
The line can be jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the bottom of the lake. The motion attracts the fish which are then caught trying to eat the lure. Handlining is most often used to catch squid but other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic fish.
