Angling: coarse fishing on the Mekong
Angling: coarse fishing on the Mekong
Does anyone here fish? I see a few locals fishing near the ferry on the riverside and was thinking it looks like a nice way to kill time. There also looks to be some nice spots on the other side .... anyone have any info on problems i might have.

Just do not eat what ever you might catch. River fish are full of toxins due to runoff from many miles upstream due to indiscriminate use of pesticides.

Re: Angling: coarse fishing on the Mekong
Ditto above. I refuse to eat any fish I suspect came further upstream. I love fishing but the fetid Mekong waters of Kampong Cham absolutely reek. If I were to fly-fish here I would tie a no. 7 turd to attract them. If locals want to eat them fine; give your catch away and make friends.
