Thailand Flyfishing News Thailand

Catfish & World Record Java Barb

World record Java Barb on a fly At our superb 50 acre clearwater lake where we sight cast to the fish, the Catfish swim with the Java Barb shoals and feed with them on the surface. The catfish is not designed to feed on the surface and experiences difficulties getting the food / fly into it’s mouth. It will often make several attempts before it takes the fly.

On this occasion the catfish made a failed attempt to take the fly. While the catfish was circling below, a smart (or not so smart) Java Barb seized the fly. After a brief fight, the Java Barb weighed in on IGFA certified scales at exactly 5 lbs. Breaking the IGFA all tackle world record of 4 lbs 10 oz. The record is not being claimed because it was an accidental catch using a 13 wt rod for catfish !!!
