The Featherfin Knifefish, also called the Bronze Featherback or Asiatic Knifefish, was described by Pallas in 1769. The are found in southern India, Myanmar and in most coastal river basins of Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Java. It inhabits many waterways; moving, sluggish, or standing water that can be either fresh or brackish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SnaggedAgain Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 @EmptyHooks - Guess what mate, I AM in Asia - visiting. Found a waterhole which has good amount of Featherbacks but they are tricky to catch on hooks. @mrsswordfisherman - Thanks. Locals also use earthworms. Will try my luck.
