Back to LSR

Coming back to the place that I first started to fish at reservoirs. With my knee injury recovering from a tennis game, I'm back to my morning schedule at LSR.


Total weight = 1.2 Kg.

Firstly, caught one at our usual corner with a popper. A medium one but lost it on the way to land. So, I decided to change to my special Fly and try. After 15mins of luring, got a tug and I pulled in the first big one. Whilst reeling the fish in and got it out of the water, my leader broke and the fish was heading back into the water. Fortunately, I managed to catch my line in time and pulled back the fish - saved!

We then decided to go to the jetty and try our luck there, after an hour, I landed another big one. This time I cannot putt it up to the jetty - too heavy for my rod. My buddy have to help me carry up the fish.

After about one month of absence at LSR and not catching PBs, these catch today is most satisfying.

Upp. Seletar Reservior

This month, we fish mostly at Upper Seletar. We fish in the early mornings. The action there is slow as we target for only Tomans. There are some surface action but no takers. Sometimes we can see schools of Tomans, but the fishes are small. The smallest I caught was about 5cm long...attacking at my poppers. That shows, how aggressive they can be!

I might go back to LSR (Lower Seletar R) at the end of the month.....my usual place unless I can find a better place to fish for big Tomans.
