This is a nice freshwater sportsfishing pond located in near Kundang Lake Resort. Officially known as Tow Foo Sportsfising Centre. 'Tow Fu' (beancurd) because the fishes in this pond are fed with a beancurd diet only. Strictly sportsfishing (catch-and-release) except for Tilapias, you can either have it cooked on the spot or take-home not more than 1.5kg (not too sure about this, suggest you check with owners first), Tow Fu Pond offers anglers a truly refreshing freshwater experience amidst a natural pond environment.
There are 4 ponds altogether, Of the four, three is known to have lots of Toman and Haruan as the water is calm and without water pumps. However, the main attraction is the pond right in front of the canteen. This is where all the action is. A variety of fish has been released over the years. The fact that this is a catch-and-release pond, these fishes are big - i mean huge.
So what do you think it's inside this pond? Just to give you a clue... this pond has a track record of 163 missing rods/reels since it began operation. Largest recorded fish - Catfish a whopping 12.8kg, spanning approx. 3.5ft. Can't imagine the 'fight' to get this bugger up! Just to get you a little excited, fish species includes Giant Patin, Giant Featherback, Giant Pacu, Giant Toman, Giant Haruan, Giant Rohu, 'Giant' Tilapia & Lampan. Basically, all Giants!

1.how much is the fees charged?
ReplyDelete2.can i rent the equipment- fishing rod there? - how much do they charge?
3. do they provide baits as well?
Hi there,
ReplyDelete1. I think they charge RM18 per rod. Not sure if they have raised the fees recently.
2. No rental. You'll have to bring your on equipment.
3. Baits are available but you'll have to purchase; hand full of toufu would cost RM1-2.
Happy Fishing!
