Fishing in Kulim

Where to fish in Kulim?

This is one of the place that I can think of in Kulim where people go to fish - Tasik Putra. It's just next to Kulim Hotel Seri Malalaysia & Kulim bus stand in other side. It is a quite large tin mining pond in the past years back. After the tin mine already finished, the related persons left over this big pond. Nowadays, it has become a recreation park with jogging track & playground.


I haven't try myself yet in this pond. However, I did visit to this pond several times for walks after meal. I found that there are many peoples come during evening time & also weekend for fishing. I have seen people get tilapia around 300g~400g. What's interesting, I'm surprise that there are many "waste eating fish" or ikan MPKK (locally called) in this pond and bite the bait. The size is very big for this fish.

However, I found that this pond is very dirty where the pond size is full with rubbish, plastic, wood & many many other waste. This is the attitude of Malaysian that always throw rubbish in drain, river & pond. I think this is one of the reasons why the ikan MPKK is so large.....
