Chenderoh Lake

It has been a long time since my last visit to Chenderoh Lake........Chenderoh Lake is a natural lake in Northen Perak, the lake is located near the royal town of Kuala Kangsar and is an archaeological site of the Lenggong town. Dennis and me decided to go for a try during the weekend. We reached there at night, and took a boat ride to a place where we were going to stay a night......

We stayed in this small hut for the night........ It is simple and nice, but NOT for the price offered

RM110/ night...... real killer!!

And we did a little local restaurant surveying........ the food in small towns always bring a delight to the taste bud. We found a local freshwater fish Chinese restaurant in Sauk town.....We ordered a featherback fish belly with ginger & soya bean sauce, stewed terrapin in herbs......

We even tried the Steam Frogs and Steam "Tapah" fish head on our way back........ The food here was so good yet cheap.

Well, time to rest....... After some beer Dennis fell fast asleep......... and the ground trembled soon after. The next morning......

Getting ready.....

Seaching around the big lake....... we tried the top water lure in the morning but no sign of biting......Where are the fishes?......... Our boatman Pak Nawi looking intently at the water surface to locate the tiny movement of the fish......The beauty of Chenderoh Lake.......

We tried our best, but no result make....... According to the boatman this is not at the best season

fishing here.......

I spotted a frenzy at the corner of the lagoon, immediately I casted out with my spoon..... a tiny one took it, it turned out to be a Peacock fry. What?!! What is it doing here in this lake? After I heard the story from the boatman that someone had released it into the lake some time ago...... OOooh! What a shock. What is going to happen to the habitat of this oldest lake in the country?

Finally, Dennis hooked a Sebarau on his fly rod.......

The only fish caught for the trip...... Sad, sigh......
