Waduk Tanjungan

Tucked into Jawa Timur, Indonesia, Waduk Tanjungan is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Waduk Tanjungan should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Giant trevally

  When fishing for GTs, always use heavy tackle and strong leaders to withstand their powerful runs and sharp teeth; they will test your gear.

• For Nile tilapia

  Tilapia often feed near the surface, so try presenting your bait or lure in the upper water column and use light tackle.

• For Hampala barb

  Target areas with fast-flowing water, rocks, and overhanging vegetation as Hampala barb are ambush predators.
