My next fantasy fishing trip: China

0
0

Asia. China.

Warm waters and exotic locales make China one of the most exciting places to go fishing. The Yangtze river and the South China sea are some of the best places to catch some wild fish.

The Yellow River is also well known for its gigantic cat fish — certainly a challenge that I would love to take up in the future. The southern seas present a great opportunity to catch some large bluefin tuna.

Pollution Concerns

One of my main concerns with travelling to China for a fishing trip is the pollution in the air and water. China is a rapidly industrializing nation with rather lax environmental safety laws. This makes for some heavily toxix water ways and lakes — most of which have killed many of the fish in the natural aquatic ecosystems.

The air is also of significant concern. Spending any amount of time there can be hazardous to your health, though smaller cities in coastal areas in the south are likely to be problem free.

If you are concerned about the northern rivers, just head south. The warm waters are beautiful and you can take your try at some deep sea fishing. Sure, it is not as relaxing as a nice calm river, but it sure beats lead toxitcity!

The Great Yangtze

The Yangtze river is one of the great water ways of the world. Next to the Amazon, it is definitely one of my top desitinations on my bucket list of fishing trips.

Gateway to Asia

As I consider a trip to China, it makes sense to probably hit some other places in Asia while you are there. The Mekong river is another great water way with some legendary catfish. There are legends in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand of a catfish so large that it could swallow up a man whole.

If you have ever watched River Monsters, you will know what I am talking about. Imagine the thrill of hooking a legendary monster!
