Valenzuela Fishing

Check out the Friendly Fishers Category for Kap Larry’s own website. It was made by Fam. Its loaded with pictures making the place more inviting than ever. View the pics and drool over previous catches. Motivate yourself to go there. Who knows, you might make it to their Champions page.

Below is a scanned copy of the flyer included in last years Fishing Tournament participants kit. Its a list of pond owners who welcome anglers to fish their ponds. I have not been to most of them so better call the owner to confirm availability.

I have been living in Valenzuela since 1986. Admittedly, it’s not a first class municipality like Makati yet. It doesn’t have high rise buildings, flyovers nor an MRT system.

In fact, Valenzuela has been loosely classified as an “industrial / residential area”. Most people still think that its part of the province of Bulacan. In reality, Valenzuela is one of Manila’s younger cities and is very much part of the urban metropolis.

This identity crisis is actually Valenzuela’s hidden charm. While warehouses and factories abound in Valenzuela, very few people know that it also nestles what can be considered the best urban fishing spots within Metro Manila. Valenzuela is a unique mix of urban industrialization and rustic rural relaxation.

The barangays of Coloong and Tagalag are both gifted with numerous private ponds. As one drives through its narrow streets, it is hard not to notice that most houses have ponds instead of backyards! And those are just the small ones. Drive further and you’d eventually see even bigger ponds that seem to stretch as far as your eyes can see.

Allow me to let Google Earth and Wikimapia do the describing. Click on the link or the pic below:

Valenzuela is my hometown and I am cordially inviting you to pack your rod and reel and try fishing here! Come on, its just within an hours drive from Manila!
