Snakehead (toman)/Gabus (snakehead)/black bass
The brackish delta of the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan. An expedition-flavored casting fishery where you cover wide water by boat for toman (giant snakehead) and gabus, best in the dry season when water levels drop and visibility improves. The key is sight fishing, casting fast and accurately to fish that surface, so having a local guide who knows the water is a real advantage.
