Club Angling in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh there are few but prominent opportunities of club level angling as well. Bangladesh Amateur Angling Association (BAAA) is one of the oldest angling clubs located in Dhaka City with there office at Kalabagan. The Dhanmondi Lake once was a great place for hobbyist anglers for fishing. But after ‘90s everything changed dramatically as pollution destroyed everything. And the lack became abandoned. BAAA became just a name.

On the other hand in present years Chittagong is playing a very important role to promote and continue club level angling. The authority of Chittagong Golf Club organizes angling competitions round the year and anglers from the whole country participate there with great enthusiasm. In Chittagong, Bhatiari Lake and Chittagong Railway Colony Lake are two great angling spots where club anglers try their luck. Foy’s Lake is another great place in Chittagong City where many anglers go fishing. But here you need a good connection to fish.

Tangail City Corporation, Jessore Municipality Authority and many organizations organize angling competition country wide all the year round. There is a reservoir in Jamuna Resort, Jamuna where anyone can go and enjoy fishing for about 4000 BDT per person. The resort offers foods and accommodation as well if anyone wants to enjoy fishing with family and stay night over there. It is a highly secured resort with world class facilities. One can also hire a boat from here and try his luck in the mighty Jamuna river.
