but if there is any guys that are into river fishing . post up
thks

Iâd caution about sudden surges from rainstorms up in the mountains. With the weather here as unpredictable as it is (and pollution, for that matter), Iâm not surprised few people do river fishing.
There are no rivers in Taiwan worth fishing ⌠pollution is king. Most rivers are run-off rivers, having enough volume during heavy rain and are fast flowing. Rivers around big cities, I wouldnât fish and there arenât probably enough big fish to catch anyways.
And up in the mountains and even most other places are signs, no fishing, no swimming ⌠but as this is Taiwan. no one cares until something happens.
interesting .
but would be good too here from guys that fish rivers ,

The closest thing to river fishing in Taiwan is fishing at Sun Moon Lake in Nantou.

Some places have shrimp fishing ⌠and they cook it for you if youâre able to catch some out of their concrete basins. 
River/stream fishing, especially fly fishing, is clearly fairly popular here because every time I go river tracing (Wulai/Pinglin/Yilan/etc.), I see plenty of anglers up the small mountain streams and rivers where the water is clean. The fish in these small streams and rivers, however, are mostly minnow to palm size. Somewhere more remote, they might get a chance to grow bigger, but if you want to catch your dinner, ocean is probably the way to go. Iâd just ask around a fishing tackle shop if youâre looking for more specifics.
âriver fishingâ and âmountainâ sound like illegal. Thereâs a website, that pitifully enough I donât remember, where you can see whereâs allowed and when to fish. I have never fished in river here, but a couple of times in the coast. Thereâs also a lot of private ponds well stocked, although I guess that it doesnât feel the same. You can get more captures, though.
God damnit, Iâm looking forward a day of fishing 
That is a nasty looking critter 
Not in Taiwan Rivers I hope.
Jeremy should do an episode on fishing Taiwanâs temple ponds.

I seen a lot of people fishing around Danshui river. But I donât know if this qualifies as river fishing because technically itâs brackish water.
