Fishing Adventure at Tunkwa Lake: A Memorable Journey
Our adventure at Tunkwa Lake was nothing short of spectacular. We had originally planned for an eight-day stay, but thanks to the generosity of Tunkwa Resort, we were gifted an extra day at no cost. This added day allowed us more time to explore and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
Each morning, we would wake up around 7:30 or 8:00 AM, ready to hit the lake by 8:30 or 9:00 AM. We knew that the native rainbow trout started feeding around this time, making it the perfect window for fishing.
One of the highlights of the trip was the opportunity to fish alone on the boat, using two rods simultaneously. This unique approach allowed me to catch fish more frequently. In fact, over the course of the trip, I managed to land two fish at once on nine different occasions!
A particularly remarkable moment occurred when I hooked a large fish, only for the line to snap and the fish to escape. Miraculously, the next day, I caught the same fish again, and the fly was still in its mouth. It was an unforgettable and astonishing experience that I will cherish forever.
What made this trip even more special was the company of friends from around the world. We had people from the Philippines, England, Canada, and myself from Iran, all coming together to share this incredible experience.
Our trip was perfectly organized, with each of us taking turns cooking for the group. This allowed us to experience a variety of dishes from different cultures. One day, we even had a potluck where everyone brought their own dish to share, creating a wonderful communal atmosphere.
This fishing trip at Tunkwa Lake was more than just about catching fish; it was about building lasting memories and friendships that transcended borders.
Fishing with Friends: An Unforgettable Experience
Our fishing trip to Tunkwa Lake wasn’t just about catching fish—it was a chance to create unforgettable memories with my friends Arnold, Armand, and Mats. Together, we spent countless hours on the lake, bonding over shared experiences, and enjoying each other’s company.
Each day, we dedicated a significant amount of time to studying the insects around the lake. We conducted thorough research, collecting various samples from the water, observing their behavior, and identifying which ones the fish were most likely to be feeding on. When we returned to the cabin, we would carefully tie patterns based on the insects we collected, preparing for the next day’s fishing. This attention to detail and the scientific approach made our fishing experience even more exciting.
Arnold was always there with his vast knowledge and experience, guiding the group and making sure we were making the most of our time on the water. Armand’s dedication to finding the best fishing spots and his tireless efforts made each day more exciting. Mats, with his enthusiasm and constant curiosity, brought fresh ideas to the table, especially when it came to trying new fishing techniques.
What truly made the trip special, though, was the cooking. Each evening, we sat down to a delicious meal, prepared by one of the guys. The flavors and dishes from their different cultures were a true highlight, and I’ll never forget the sense of camaraderie as we dined together by the lake, the sound of the waves in the background.
The fishing was, of course, fantastic. Each of us had our own unique approach, but we shared everything we knew and learned from each other. It wasn’t just about catching fish; it was about the connection we had as a group and the way we supported and encouraged each other.
In the end, what I’ll remember most from this trip isn’t just the fish we caught, but the friendships we strengthened, the fascinating research we did, and the laughter we shared. It was a truly memorable experience, and I’m grateful to have had it with Arnold, Armand, and Mats.
