Kali Brantas

Flowing through Jawa Timur, Indonesia, Kali Brantas is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Kali Brantas hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Kali Brantas can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

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.
