About Shaori Reservoir

Nestled in the lush mountains of the Racha region, Shaori Reservoir is known for its incredible scenery. The water is clean and deep, hosting a healthy population of carp and other species.

Fishing Tips

  • The reservoir is deep; look for drop-offs and underwater structures.
  • Feeder fishing with sweetcorn or boilies works well for carp.
  • Early morning mists are common, making for atmospheric (and often productive) fishing.

Access

The main road runs right alongside the reservoir, providing easy access to many spots. The shoreline is mixed, with some steep rocky areas and other flatter sections ideal for camping.
