Angling Around Dhaka: Dhaka National Zoo Lake

Dhaka National Zoo Lakes have always been a prime destination for anglers. It consists of two great pristine lakes with great fishes like rohu, catla, mrigal, kalibaus, catfish etc. Anyone can go fishing from 6:00am to 7:00 pm for a fee of 1000 Taka with 3 rods. Ticket for fishing in Dhaka National Zoo Lakes should be booked prior to the angling trip. Inclusion of a helping man is permitted with the same package, that means you can take another person with you in the same cost.

There are two lakes inside the zoo. The Northern Lake is a little bigger than the Southern Lake. Which lake to go depends on the  individual choice. But Most people prefer to fish in the Northern Lake. There are two restaurants where you can get foods (mainly fast foods and snacks) and drinks. Beside this, if you need any kind of first aid you may contact Veterinary Surgeon of Information Center new the entrance gate.

Shawkat Bhai came from Chittagong for this fishing competition. The organizers apparently cheated us by informing us that there were big catlas in the pond as well as other big fishes like rohu, mrigal etc. Unfortunately all was bogus. Whatsoever, planning of going fishing just before the Eid day was settled. Read More...
