船灣淡水湖 Plover Cove Reservoir

Tucked into 香港 Hong Kong, Hong Kong (SAR), 船灣淡水湖 Plover Cove Reservoir 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 船灣淡水湖 Plover Cove Reservoir should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Marbled Rockfish

  Fish near rocky structures or reefs where Marbled Rockfish tend to ambush prey and vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers them.

• For Mozambique tilapia

  Tilapia are often skittish, so use light line and small hooks, and try chumming the water with bread crumbs or corn to attract them to your fishing spot.

• For Koi carp

  Use a hair rig for boilies or other firm baits to keep the hook exposed and improve hook-up ratios, especially for larger koi.
