With over 100 river basins in the island there are hundreds
of estuaries, mangrove lagoons and coastal lakes which provide
popular spots for local surf casters and bait fishermen. Still
fishing is available inland and offshore but special care
needs to be taken when choosing a location because of complicated
fishing rights within the community. Red Dot can provide a
local guide to help avoid potential conflicts and find the
best spots.
Red Dot can organise trips to Bolgoda Lake (45 mins south
of Colombo), Kalpitiya Lagoon (three hours north of Colombo),
Giritale Tank (an ancient reservoir near Polonnaruwa in the
Cultural Triangle), Parakrama Samudraya (ancient reservoir
in Polonnaruwa), Samanalawewa Reservoir (Balangoda), and Chandrika
Wewa Lake (Embilipitiya, near to Uda Walawe National Park).
These packages include about 4 hours of fishing. The cost
would include the hire of a boat with a guide. Rods, reels
and bait are available on request.
