🎣 Burmese trout (Raimas guttatus) Lure Fishing on Hoa Binh Hydropower Lake
🌊 Introduction to Hoa Binh Hydropower Lake
Hoa Binh Hydropower Lake – often called “the emerald sea of the Northwest” – is the largest man-made lake in Vietnam. Formed from the mighty Da River during the construction of Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the lake spans over 8,000 hectares and stretches across the districts of Mai Chau, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City.
Surrounded by majestic limestone mountains, lush forests, and peaceful floating villages, the lake offers not only stunning scenery but also an exceptional freshwater fishing experience. The calm, deep waters are home to a variety of fish species, especially the prized Burmese trout (Raimas guttatus) – locally known as cá măng, a powerful and challenging species for anglers who love lure fishing.
