Your Catches: Malaysian Jungle Perch

The Tahan River gives life, thanks in large part to the Colonial British. Many years ago they converted a huge expanse of forest into a National Park. In those days it was called the ‘King George V National Park’ and still to this day we’re able to enjoy one of the most beautiful virgin forests in the world. This beautiful forest presents extensive freshwater sport-fishing opportunities that any fishing enthusiast would dream of.
The Malaysian Jungle Perch (Hampala macrolepidiota) is a respected sport fishing species in Malaysia. My mate and myself were casting into a deep tan pool, upstream of the Tahan River. Both of us were casting along a wide limestone bank. We watched fish swirling and chasing our spoons in the depths.
