TARGET FRESHWATER SPECIES
Malaysia’s freshwater lakes and rivers are home to many exciting sport fish. At Hardworking Angler, our trips mainly focus on two of the most sought-after predators — the giant snakehead and the peacock bass. Both species can be targeted throughout the year and are well known for their aggressive strikes on artificial lures.
Learn more about these two freshwater predators below.
PEACOCK BASS (CICHLA MONOCULUS)
Peacock bass are originally from the Amazon basin in South America, but they have adapted very well to many lakes in Malaysia. They are aggressive, hit lures hard, and are always a fun fish to target on light tackle.
GIANT SNAKEHEAD (CHANNA MICROPELTES)
The giant snakehead, locally called toman, is one of the most exciting fish to catch in Malaysia. They are strong fighters and are well known for smashing topwater lures near the surface.
