 Fishing tours in Cambodia are the newest, most adventurous and unequalled sport fishing tours in the world! After decades of internal strife Cambodia is a new and emerging holiday destination, and now, for the very first time, the Kingdom is ready to welcome and cater for the world’s ‘extreme’ anglers in search of specimen fish and potential world records. Whether it is fishing one of Phnom Penh’s pristine lakes, the magnificent Tonle Sap Lake (the largest in South East Asia), or the mighty Mekong River, Asia Adventures now provides guided Cambodia fishing holidays for those anglers that want to experience adventure fishing at it’s most extreme.
Fishing the waters of Cambodia provides serious adventure anglers the opportunity to fish for two of the world’s biggest freshwater fish, the mighty Giant Mekong Catfish (up to 3m long and 300kg) and the amazing Freshwater Ray (up to 4.5m long and 450kg). As well as these ‘megafish’ other large species ready to put up a tough fight are out there, such as Cambodia's national fish the Giant Barb, the Giant Snakehead, the Giant Siamese Carp, and Barramundi.
 Few countries are as dependent on fishing as Cambodia, where the locals get 80% of their protein intake from eating fish. The Tonle Sap Lake is one of the most productive fisheries in the world, as a result of this fishing is very much a part of the local culture and Cambodians are excellent fishermen, even though the fishing methods they use have changed little over the centuries. Fishing is celebrated in traditional dance and even immortalised on the walls of the magnificent ancient Angkor Wat temple. Indeed, the ancient Angkor Empire would never have existed if it were not for the seasonal flows of the Mekong River and the Tonle Sap’s annual flooding where the lake increases in size by over 5 times.
 Fishing in Cambodia is not the same as fishing in neighbouring Thailand where all the fishing venues have been commercialised and largely over-fished. Cambodia’s lakes and rivers are unspoiled and completely natural, boasting specimen fish to unbelievable weights and holding potential world records. In addition, our unique fishing multi-day adventure boat trips on the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake offer the world’s most adventurous anglers the chance to enter the record books themselves by landing these monster freshwater fish. Anglers will visit small riverside villages where they experience traditional Cambodian life, learn how the locals fish and enjoy tasty fish based Cambodian cuisine.
