Snakehead after sitting out a storm
Snakehead 3 - last knockings
First snakehead of the week
A southern bay - quite beautiful. Incredibly enough this was my first trip into this bay. Turns out not to hold much at this time of year, but definitely worth a visit later on!
Incoming storm! Lots of exciting lightning strikes around the boat!
Zipping down the lake past the limestone cliffs
6lb Toman

Electronic luggage scales (or is that scale?!)

Back in the Jungle!
It's tough at the moment, but I'm expecting good things to come.
Nice light this evening, rains are starting to threaten again after 2 months without a drop!
Quite beautiful but I haven't had a decent night's sleep in three days because the moon is so bright!
The boat is now camouflaged!

Just because we're living on the boat doesn't mean we can't eat well!

A small Toman at the end of a hard day
This is what Snakehead think of bite tippets
I very nearly got caught out in a rainstorm without the tarp in place. Luckily I saw it zooming down the lake just in time!
It's not a porn palace, despite how it looks
Quite remarkable evening light on the lake.
3KG Toman - lots of fish in this bay, but hard to get shots
It's rare to see elephants on the lake edge but they are always around!
I motored in using the electric - there were 9 elephants in total.
Mother and baby
Another sunset nearing in, but the light suddenly changes dramatically.
I had to shave the beard after taking some trimming advice that made me look like a 70's porn star. It was not a good look. Anyway, starting again...
Casting the HT4 for Gourami
Water levels are still dropping, I think in preparation for the Wet Season. This makes the fishing rather good for Snakehead, although Jungle Perch have lost their backside cover.
Ashly pays a visit! She's looking forward to eating Toman.
Ashly cooking Toman
A campfire that I spent time with while Ash cooked Toman. Unfortunately it started raining before Ashly had finished cooking. Still, I enjoyed it!
Ashly says, 'Mmmm!'
I love these moody evenings
My first exciting dun on the HT4. It looks out of focus because that's what the fish want.
These are spinners for Gourami. They feature a foam strip back.
Jungle Otter
Jungle Perch
There is unfortunately a hell of a lot of netting on this lake. It would be nice to have a few C&R sanctuaries. One day maybe!
Toman of the Week. 3.2KG.
Typical Temenggor sight
Ash at the helm
Jungle Pig!
Peter would like it here - mind you they don't hunt with guns, but blowpipes!
Storm brewing across the lake. Pretty much a daily occurrence. If it hits early afternoon this is best because then I still get a shot at the evening...

Snakehead fight dirty
My first Gourami of the trip. I'd like to thank my Mum for giving me such a strong casting arm. And thanks to my friends in KL for being so supportive during the drought, especially Ti for telling me to look harder. Thanks also to myself for developing such a fine flyrod. And finally thanks to God for giving me such a big penis. I feel blessed.
Belum-Temenggor. This week we head to the far south.
Ashly at the bow, the adventure to South Temenggor begins
