Tow Foo Sport Fishing Centre

This is one of the many pay ponds that my hubby likes to go for fishing. Tow Foo Sports Fishing (Tow Foo) is also one of my favorite place to follow him. Back when he just started his fishing hobby, this is the place that we come almost every weekend. Sometimes, we even come in a big group (like a field trip) with our friends to have an all-​day fishing trip.
Tow Foo is a very nice fishing place, it is very peaceful and relaxing to be at. Even for me who are there just to accompany my other half. It give you the very out of city feels where there’s chicken and their chicks running around.
Besides, there’s a kitchen serving some local food. While waiting, I usually have their nasi goreng pedas giler and the ‘burung’ (fried pegion). So, there’s no need to worry that you’ll get hungry there! That kitchen is also the reason why people can be there the whole day. Worry not, they have toilets there too. Not the best in town, but usable.
Other than having a peaceful environment, Tow Foo is a nice place to fish for fishes like Patin, Pacu, Tilapia, Mekong Catfish and Grass Carp. This place practices Sports Fishing (catch and release) where you’ve got to release all the fishes that you catch.

This is probably one of the very first places that I used to visit frequently when I first started fishing. Welcome to Tow Foo Sportsfishing pond, this place is owned and operated by Mr. Wong. This fishing lake is called Tow Foo (soy bean curd) partly due to the fact that they only feed the fishes here with soy bean curd leftovers from a soy factory which is also owned by the same owner. Back in it’s days (2005 – 2007) this place is famous among anglers for their healthy and strong Patin’s and Pacu’s (with sizes exceeding 7−8kg’s), and this place used to consists of several lakes (around 7 lakes if I could recalled). However now is only left the main lake as the other lakes have been demolished due to the highway construction a few years back.
The usual fishing technique that is used here is usually bait fishing (the fishes here are mostly herbivores, so not much lure fishing action), with the use of steel trace leader with double hook set up and use only Gardenier White breads as bait! (Yes you hear me right, Gardenier bread!). Me and my dad used to always fish near the water pumps and we will cast the bait very near to the floating «island» and on a good weekend we will usually catch 7 – 8 Patin/Pacu’s (mostly exceeding 7kg). However do be informed that the fishes here are very easily spook, and that will greatly affect your strike rates.
This place is no longer as good as it is previously, but it is still a good place to unwind and relax.
P. S.: This is a Catch & Release fishing pond, which means no killing and taking home fishes from this pond except for palm size tilapia’s only.

The Tow Foo fishing pond which I was told about by my friend’s dad. Me and my buddies decided to head over there to give it a try as rumor has it that the fishes here takes taufu as bait!
It’s about 45 minutes drive from Ara Damansara. It’s RM20 for 1 rod, for 12 hours. Tow Foo Fishing Centre is a catch and release freshwater pond. The fishes here are weights at least a good 7kg so be sure to prepare some heavy duty tackle and some steel lines for the Pacu.
