Anglers' Paradise
Tasik Kenyir with its huge water catchment area is a natural haven for freshwater fish. A recent study revealed that there are over 300 species of freshwater fish in the lake such as Kelisa, Kelah, Toman, Baung, Sebarau and Lampam, making Tasik Kenyir an angler’s dream come true.

Some of the perfect spots for anglers are Petang, Cacing, Leban, Petuang, Sg. Terenggan and Saok. To fish at these spots you need to acquire a fishing permit from the Wildlife Department.
