Fishing Trips in Asia
Frequently Asked Questions:
What species can anglers target in Asia?
Asia offers unmatched diversity. In freshwater, anglers can pursue golden mahseer in India and Nepal, giant snakehead in Thailand, and Mekong giant catfish in Cambodia. Saltwater opportunities include dogtooth tuna and giant trevally in the Maldives, yellowfin tuna in Sri Lanka, and ruby snapper and grouper in Papua New Guinea. Many species are endemic to the region, making Asia a must-visit for serious anglers.
What makes fishing in Asia unique compared to other regions?
Asia combines raw wilderness with species found nowhere else. The mahseer of the Himalayas, taimen of Mongolia, and Papuan black bass are true bucket-list fish. Offshore, the Indian Ocean produces some of the hardest-fighting pelagics on earth. Many Asian destinations remain remote and lightly pressured, offering adventurous anglers the chance to fish waters that see very few visitors each year.
How accessible are Asia’s fishing destinations for international travelers?
Accessibility ranges from easy to remote. The Maldives, Thailand, and Sri Lanka are well-served by international airports with quick transfers to lodges or liveaboards. More remote adventures, like taimen in Mongolia or mahseer in Bhutan, may require multiple flights, long drives, or even horseback approaches.
Do you organize fishing trips in the Andaman Islands, Borneo, or other remote destinations?
Yes. We specialize in creating custom itineraries for anglers who want to explore remote waters such as the Andaman Islands for giant trevally and dogtooth tuna, the jungles of Borneo for red kaloi and jungle mahseer, or even Papua New Guinea for png black bass and ruby snapper. These trips are fully tailored, covering logistics, guides, permits, and accommodations, so you can focus on the adventure of fishing untouched waters.
