Group Flyfishing and BFS
Ba lake
Ba Lake is a 40km long stretch of lake littered with thousands of islands. These islands are where the biggest population of Vietnam’s butterfly peacock bass can be found. Numbering in the millions, it’s a hotspot for fly fishing and BFS fishing fanatics. Along with huge skygazers and various species of snakehead, Ba lake is a must try for a day of guaranteed non stop action.
How to catch Peacock bass
Peacocks can be found in nearly every nook and cranny of the lake, Deep water, shallow, right up against the bank. Small spoons, poppers and spooks work best for them on bfs, whereas any kind of streamer or nymph is the way to go for fly. In the mid afternoon they get quite docile but start hunting vigourously in the later afternoons. They can be found in huge schools simming near underwater islands and structure. Skygazers are usually a by catch during the day and to target them successfuly requires a few hours of night fishing

Best lures for Peacock bass
Poppers
Peacock Bass are notorious for their topwater hits and poppers are one of the topwater lures you can use to entice a blowup. Smaller BFS poppers such as the rapala Skitterpop 90/Megabass BFS pop and Siamspoon 70mm pop
Jerkbaits
Once the sun is out, the topwater action slows down. Jerkbaits juch as the Rapala x-rap, Duo realis or shimano flashboost will ensure that you are able to target deeper waters for Peacocks swimming in the weeds
Spoons
When the sun is out and shining, there are very few lures that beat a gold or silver spoon in luring the fish in. The flash and action of aspoon mimics the silver baitfish they hunt and easily fools them to take a bite
Miscellaneous
Spooks
Cousers
Streamers
Foam Poppers
Whopper ploppers
These lures and Flies all work with a very high success rate. Depending on the weather and time of day, switching to a different lure might offer a higher successful hit rate
