TIMAH TASOH PEACOCK BASS FISHING - NORTHERN MALAYSIA LAKE ADVENTURE

Target aggressive peacock bass in the scenic waters of Timah Tasoh Reservoir.

​

Located in the northern state of Perlis, Timah Tasoh Reservoir is one of the most scenic freshwater lakes in Malaysia. Surrounded by rolling hills and quiet countryside, the lake offers anglers a peaceful environment while targeting one of the most exciting freshwater sport fish — the peacock bass.

​

The reservoir was completed in the early 1990s and today stretches across more than 1,300 hectares of water, forming a large freshwater system fed by the Timah and Tasoh rivers.

​

Over the years, peacock bass have established a strong population in the lake and are now widely recognised as one of the most sought-after species by anglers visiting the area.

​

These fish are aggressive predators that often patrol shallow shorelines, submerged structures, and open water schools. When feeding actively, they can provide fast-paced lure fishing action with multiple strikes in a single session.

​

Timah Tasoh is particularly enjoyable for anglers who like casting artificial lures. Peacock bass here respond well to a wide variety of lures such as minnows, crankbaits, poppers, and soft plastics, making the fishing both active and exciting.

​

Beyond the fishing itself, the lake’s surroundings offer a calm and scenic environment rarely found in larger reservoirs. Early mornings often bring still waters and mist drifting across the lake, while evenings provide spectacular sunsets over the hills of Perlis.

​

For anglers travelling from outside the northern region, Timah Tasoh offers a refreshing fishing destination that combines productive peacock bass fishing with beautiful natural scenery.
