But as you walk through the covered walkway entrance, collect your bait,
and wonder out onto the decked walkways that follow the perimeter of the lake,
you are presented with a Shangri-La type vision.
Although hard to describe Bung Sam Lan as "pretty"
it has a rustic quaintness that will grow on you as the day passes.
The first thing that many anglers notice as they look across the lake, is
the heaving, boiling surface. Everywhere you look fish are topping, and upon
closer inspection, these are not just ordinary fish....some seem as big as
Dolphins! Some are! This immediately sets your heart racing, and its hard to
contain your excitement as you make your way around the lake to your bungalow.
Walking briskly now around to your fishing spot, a bungalow on stilts, your
eyes will be scanning for other anglers to see if they are getting any action.
First you see one, seems to be doing battle with a big fish, and then as you
pan round the waters edge you see another and another all playing big fish. By
now most anglers are asking themselves "Is this place for real?"
The atmosphere is then added to by an almighty crash as a 300LB Arapaima
erupts from the waters surface and slapping it's tail hard against the water to
mark it's territory. By the time you reach your bungalow, you will be shaking
with anticipation!
All around this lake, you will often hear the warm laughter and
conversation of Thai anglers, and international visitors alike content in their
day as they and their friends catch fish after fish after fish. Sitting around
on their pontoons in large groups sharing food, beer and smiles.
Your guide will have your rods set up in a jiffy, he casts your first bait
of the day...to discover what happens next, you really have to be here!
