Beautiful morning


Discharge outlet from the upper reservoir


Sun is already over the horizon and joggers were everywhere.


Nice view from the discharge outlet


It was still jumping when Ahmad took this photo for me.


Phew.................


Wow................... with my Midge rod.


My hand was still shaking from the "fight".


Ahmad helped me land this fellow with the Boga grip.


Caught with my Midge rod and Tica reel. This peacock bass took line off the reel a few times. I was able to land it only with the help of a fellow fly fisherman, Ahmad.


Big peacock bass with Boga grip


A small fly caught a big fish


Look how much the fly hook the peacock bass's lips. By a whiskers.


The fly was just hanging by its lips. Only a tiny bit of it.


Reproductive organ of the peacock bass


The reproductive organ of the female peacock bass. She had already deposited her eggs. If not, she would have weigh another half kilogram more.


A little over 3.5 pounds. 1.6 kilogrammes in the metric system.


The big peacock bass before it swam off.


This peacock bass was jumping so much that it "char-bee-hoon" my fly line all over the place.


Close up of the fly. After this peacock bass was released, I went for breakfast with Uncle Wong.
