In a previous post on the IT Monster Lake in Bangkok, I showed some pictures of giant exotic species caught there. Just a few days ago, I received more pictures of our guide, who made a couple of trips there with the objective to catch these exotic species on fly. Fly anglers all over the world wants to get in on the “exotic fish” action and there might be no better place to make that dream come true than in Bangkok Thailand. These trips were made to understand the feeding patterns of these exotic species, the types of flies which will be effective, so that trips can be arranged in the future for aspiring fly anglers.

On the right, you will see a huge Barramundi caught from IT Monster weighing almost 15kg.

Here’s a couple of great pictures of an Alligator Gar weighing about 10kg caught on a 9wt fly outfit caught by our fishing guide from IT Monster Lake.

The picture below shows a “baby” arapaima weighing about 12kg caught on fly.

Another picture of an African Catfish, also caught on fly at IT Monster. This one weights about 8kg and was caught on a black/red fly fished on a slow strip.

Pictures below shows a selection of flies which have proven to be effective. Fly sizes range from size 4 to size 4/0. Darker flies seems to work better, mostly due to the slighly murky water at the lake.

Enjoy the pictures and I’ll post more pictures as soon as I receive them or make the trip to IT Monster. Stay tuned!
