    Re: Longkang fish

    If you are looking for those longkang fishing activities for kids (adults can also join in the fun too), can try places like ORTO at Yishun (formerly bottle tree park).

    Here is a link: http://orto.sg/activities/longkang-fishing/

    Hello, Gareth tan.

    Your thread title reminded me of a website that I came across some time back.

    It's the Long Kang Fishing attraction at Qian Hu. I think this can work for you.

    Hope that helps.

    Re: Longkang fish

    I still see an uncle catching longkang fish near my home. Really wanna join him sometimes. Haha! Is this allowed to catch fish down there?

    I can see small fish shoaling along the canal and many birds waiting down there to hunt them.

    Re: Longkang fish

    It may be easy to see the fish in a wide drain, but being able to catch them is another matter. Just imagine how difficult it is to catch small fish even in a fish tank, what more a wide open drain or canal.

    Hi Gareth,
    My reply there only said I couldn't remember any location he (BernC) mentioned before.

    If you are interested in catching wild fish, why not just buy a $2 packet of feeder guppies from the LFS? The quality is much better than any guppies found in drains or streams.

    Re: Longkang fish

    I've been hiking around the MacRitchie and Pierce Reservoirs recently. Along Old Upper Thomson Road, there are roadside ditches made by the tyres of heavy vehicles? I see killifish inside. Within the reservoir fishing is prohibited, but I spotted some barbs, half-beaks, two different snakehead species, and guppies. If you follow the streams out until they become canals nearer to Yishun side and you'll probably be able to collect fish legally. As you head out of the forest the fish species change, though. For example, I saw guppies only at the entrance to the Venus Drive trail, but as you hike in, you don't find guppies any more.
