Fish Valley, Semenyih

finally made it to this popular fishing haunt ... 15th October 2013 
been reading bout it on MFN (for a couple of years before it was shutdown) ... was invited by my sifus
rm30/day for two rods; rm2/pkt of house pellets

pricey, when compared with tow foo sportfishing
nice landscaping, short mini bamboo groves all over the place 
only two ponds are open to the public @ rm30 and rm5
rm30 pond is strictly CnR, while fish caught from the rm5 pond may be taken after weighing and paying

Fish Valley owner, supervisor, patrol duty, restaurant operator ... Michael is a class act
patient, even in the face of the immature, the rude and arrogant
ever ready to teach & share and non-judgemental - classy all the way 

apart from my sifu who hooked up five fish, the rest of us came in at two apiece
good fight nonetheless ... pacus, rohus, carps, African catfish, patins, plabuks, tilapias, Julliene's barbs, etc, are there ... it's a matter of whether one is able to get them
strong pulling and each species with its individual ways of taking off when hooked
both times, the rods did not twitch, did not bounce ... it's all quiet on the water front and suddenly ... the line shoots out and the reel screams 
someone actually lost their tackle, while we were there, when he laid down his tackle and stepped away .... a friend of his yelled to him 'hey ! your tackle's gone into the water ... !'
he was very lucky to have retrieved his set because his line snapped

pond's kinda small so when every angler is close by or adjacent even, lines will tangle and anglers will get together to untangle their respective lines 
anglers that day were understanding and mutually accommodating all around 

the restaurant is quite popular, with non-anglers turning up from all over to eat 
many dishes but a little pricey (as of second half 2014, food prices were confirmed by a Kajang friend and colleague to have increased substantially)  
paintball will be introduced soon if Michael gets his way 
ATVs are available @ rm50/30mins ... grounds are large enough but wish they'd stay away from anglers

3kg pacu on salty chief/stradic 1000/15lb braid/40lb fluoro leader using house pellets
