Fishing is one of the main attraction for visitors to Taman Negara. There are a number of good fishing areas.

A fishing permit costs RM10 and hiring a rod costs RM5, apply only to the waters of Sungai Tahan below Lata Berkoh, and Sungai Kenyam below Kuala Kenyam Kecil.

Most angling is done with artificial lures on a spinning reel. But in season, local fruits such as buah maris can be used as bait. The best fishing period is in the drier months, February to April, and June to August.

The fish most commonly caught are the sebarau (Hampala macrolepidota) and the kelah (Tortambroides). Both are from the carp family. The toman (Channa spp) or snake-head is from the murrel family, and is a slender, scaleless fish, dark in colour, with the dorsal fin extending the full length of the back.

Anglers will find the park a real paradise!
