Now Nam Lake is situated on the outskirts of Bangkok some fifty km's outside Bangkok city centre.
Now Nam Lake is a mature twenty rai / eight acre fishery with history dating back some thirty years containing a wide variety of Asian Carp and Catfish species.
Now Nam is a long elongated body of water with varying depths ranging between three and five metres.
Fishing at Now Nam Lake is permitted from only one bank (sheltered) with the out of bounds bank being bordered by a residential estate.
Now Nam has very few snags and has a fairly uniform depth of three metres.
The snags/structure that do exist in addition to the out of bounds bank regularily produce large hauls of fish.
The lake responds well to sliding float / bread set ups in addition to method style tactics using locally produced flavoured groundbaits.
The lake holds a large stock of Bighead Carp with weights ranging between fifteen and twenty kg's.
Now Nam Lake also holds a wide variety of Asian Carp species with Giant Siamese Carp reported to reach sixty kg+ in addition to large Rohu (Indian Carp) upto fifteen kg's, Mrigal (small scale mud carp), Juliens golden price carp, Silver carp and small Common Carp.
In addition to the various carp species that reside in Now Nam, the lake holds various catfish species with a large head of Giant Mekong Catfish present upto one hundred kg+. Now Nam Lake also holds specimen sized Striped and Chaophraya Catfish.
Now Nam Lake can be described as a highly prolific venue offering multiple carp and catfish captures to the visiting angler(s).
Basic facilities are available on site with W.C's and a small shaded restaurant serving a basic selection of Thai food throughout the day.
The Fishsiam team has captured numerous Big head Carp from Now Nam Lake and feel that Now Nam represents the best opportunity for the visiting angler(s) to capture Big Head Carp.
