Comments.
The lake has a temperature stratification from the
end of February until October. The surface water had a minimum temperature of
15.2°C in January and a maximum of 28°C in June. The temperature stratification
causes a chemical stratification to build up. The water below 7 to 9 m is anoxic
from April to November. Further the pH of this water is lower than at the surface,
while the conductivity is higher.
If you wish to be amongst the first to fish Lake Phewa for its giant carp, please
feel free to contact us. We are based out of BKK, and working in
collaboration with
the owners of a western owned hotel development on the shores of the lake.
To review hundreds of waters for great carp fishing.
