Tow Foo Pond

This is a nice sportsfishing pond situated in KL. Known as 'Tow Foo' (beancurd) Pond because the fishes in this pond are fed only with a beancurd diet. Strictly sports-fishing (catch-and-release), Tow Fu Pond offers anglers a truly refreshing freshwater experience amidst a rustic environment.

So what do you think it's inside this pond? Just to give you a clue... this pond has a record of 163 missing rods/reels since they began operation in 1983. Largest recorded fish - Catfish a whopping 12.8kg, spanning 3.2ft. Can't imagine the 'fight' to get this bugger up!!

For the adventurous, rent a shrimp topper (5ft small boat) and get yourself right to the front the island. Sure hit(s) within 15 minutes of casting. Shallow pond, 5ft-6ft deep at the most, most shallow along the perimeters of the pond. Careful not to get snagged, lots of dead branches (probably rusty rods) below.
Fish in-stock: Pacu (Pirannah), Patin, Catfish, Toman (I meant huge ones),

FACTS:

Cost: RM18/pax (you can use as multiple rods, but think twice; cos i just don't want you to miss out the action)
