Some of you may already know that I am organizing a fishing trip to Ningbo, China from Sept 16~19. The trip is basically a get together with other fly fisherman from various parts of China and Taiwan. There will be avid lure fishing enthusiasts participating as well so bring along your spin gear if you like.
Fishing with artificial lures has taken off in China in a big way the last 2 years. Fly fishing is certainly gaining popularity rapidly as well. Being a very new activity in China, there are not many people who can guide a newcomer on his way to mastering the basics, or how to select equipment, and etc in fly fishing. China’s strict censorship(no You Tube) does not help either so there is a dearth of knowledge on the subject matter.
The trip will essentially be a fishing come cultural exchange, and hopefully we can provide a few pointers as well. It’s also a way for us to make friends and get to discover new fishing spots. There are some really wild, huge and hard fighting fish over there if you know where to look.
So far myself, Doc Ling, and Tee have confirmed and booked our plane tickets. Anyone else who is interested is most welcome to join in.
For this trip we have to pay our own plane ticket, transport, and lodging.
Essentially, it is appoximatelt RM1,360 for return ticket to Ningbo at the moment(via Airasia) and another RM350 to cover 3 days of lodging(twin share) and transport. The hosts are throwing in 3 days of fishing at their private reservoir. This includes meals and drink on the premises and free use of their Bass Boats. You can expect to catch Largemouth, Skygazer, Mandarin Perch, Sunfish(crappie), freshwater Seabass, Catfish, Northern Snakehead, and etc.
The itinerary is
KL>HANGZHOU Sept 16 17:20~22:20
HANGSHOU>KL Sept 19 23:20~04:30(next morning)
Please let me know soon as possible if you are interested.
