Fly for Kelah- fishing ground review

Location: Charas Cave, Pekan Panching off Jln sg Lembing, kuantan.


This is a great fishing spot for flyfishing. You actually can stand on the middle of the river as it is just a knee deep. The deeper part of the river is just next to the river bank.
You can cast your fly comfortably . The current is at a moderate speed.

If study the poor picture below carefully, you will notice there is a structure just below the water. It is actually a small but strong wooden bridge linking Pekan Pancing to some estate on the other side. You can also stand on that bridge if you are willing to jump into the river if any estate’s vehicle wanted to use it.

Bottom Fishing is not suitable as the current will make your No 8 sinker floats. Plus, there is almost no place for you to cast as the river bank is full of vegetation. But if you have a boat, and errrrr… crazy enuff, anything is possible.

There are Kelah and sebarau spotted and caught by the local. Personally, this spot is not my type, and the story of kelah maybe a bit of fairy tale, but any angler who want to prove me wrong, you are welcome to try.



the famous Charas Cave - There is a sleeping Buddha inside the cave.













Peaceful and calm
















a wooden bridge ....
