In Search of the Borneo Crimson Juggernauts (Prelude)

- Embedded deep within one of the world's oldest rainforests in the incredible island of Borneo lies a marvellous promise of something truly spectacular in brilliant crimson. Hidden in the depths of the upper sections of clear, flowing forest streams deeply tinted by tannins ranging from wine to tea colours, guarded by an impossible fortress of complicated submerged wood structures, are homes to the endemic Osphronemus septemfaciastus, or red kaloi.
The red kaloi is an omnivore. Its diet ranges from plant parts like fruits and flowers to insects, crustaceans, fishes and amphibians. Within the span of the expedition, the red kaloi have a proven preference to popper flies. Depending on the weather, time of the day, water flow and quality, they can either be incredibly aggressive, from smashing poppers to giving the most subtle takes; but can also be frustratingly reluctant, taking time to size up the fly before turning away and disappear into the depths.
Hooking them is one thing, successfully landing them is another. No disrespect to the females but the trophy has to be the bulls. They are aesthetically majestic, significantly larger in size and possess pure brute power. Combine those with the environment they live in and that is where the problem lies. Stop them or they bury you dead in the underwater structures. You don't quite get a generous amount of chances either. Over 10 opportunities, I only tasted success once.
Fly anglers from all over the world are ever-endeavouring in pushing the boundaries on what is possible to catch on a fly. Certain species have established themselves in the new era as the community continues to evolve and innovate - the golden dorado and triggerfish are two of such fine examples. The red kaloi could be next.
Coming soon in 2023.
