Beautiful river completely untouched. My concern is that by now the Malaysian timber giants have probably cleared the jungle around it and it is probably poluted to buggery. Fantastic stretch of water... Again wish I had my fishing rod with me.

Nah Sean. Wish I did though.
We stopped at a tributary and parked the raft, under the boat in a deep water eddy were 6 of the biggest trout,like fish I have seen must have been well over a metre. I just abouit cried.
Then the guide Bonnie (see other pic) gets out and grabs a rock and says watch this.... he proceeds to hurl this rock a couple of hundred metres (boundary to stumps stuff anyway) into the shallow feeder tributary. Well the water just erupted with fish a metre long jumping everywhere. I felt ill!!!! I'd love to go back one day and after seeing your pics posted a few weeks ago it inspired me to drag out the old photo album and scan a few old pics.

Magic
Looks magic and would have been nearly untouched back then, sure it brings back some great memories for you Andy.
