My Unforgettable Day at Yulequan Fishing Club (Former Bihai Fishing Ground) in Guangzhou
Last weekend, I was craving a break from the city’s buzz, so I headed to Yulequan Fishing Club—formerly known as Bihai Fishing Ground—in Guangzhou. As someone who’s fished at half a dozen spots around the city, I didn’t expect to be this impressed. Let me spill the details of my day here!
First Impressions & Basic Info
When I pulled up, the first thing that caught my eye was the 32-acre large water surface. It’s not a tiny pond—this is a proper fishing spot where you can spread out and not feel cramped next to other anglers. The club used to be called Bihai Fishing Ground, but they’ve rebranded to Yulequan Fishing Club, and the vibe feels even more welcoming now.
Affordable Pricing That Won’t Break the Bank
Let’s talk about the fees—super reasonable for what you get:
- 80 beans (local slang for yuan here) for 6 hours of fishing
- 100 beans for 8 hours, which is a better deal if you want to spend the whole morning or afternoon
I went for the 8-hour pass, and trust me, the time flew by without me noticing.
What Fish Can You Catch Here?
The variety of fish here is no joke. I targeted grass carp first and got a decent catch within 40 minutes. But the real surprise was the original pond big crucian carp—they fight hard and are so satisfying to reel in. Here’s the full list of fish you can hook:
- Black carp (big and strong, a challenge for any angler)
- Grass carp (plenty of them, easy to attract with the right bait)
- Common carp (active throughout the day)
- Original pond big crucian carp (my personal favorite)
- Local mud carp (small but fun to catch in batches)
- Tilapia (great for beginners since they bite often)
By the end of the day, I had a cooler full of fresh fish to take home—my family loved the tilapia for dinner!
Convenient Amenities for a Stress-Free Day
One thing I hate about remote fishing spots is the lack of basics, but Yulequan has you covered. They sell mineral water, instant noodles, and drinks right on site. I forgot to bring my water bottle, so grabbing a cold one between casts was a lifesaver. No need to pack a huge cooler of snacks—just pick up what you need there.
Pro Tip: Contact Them Easily
Want to book a spot or ask questions? Their phone number is the same as their WeChat ID—super convenient for quick inquiries. I texted them the night before to check if it was busy, and they replied within 5 minutes. No more waiting on hold or guessing if the spot is crowded.
If you’re an angler in Guangzhou looking for a chill, affordable spot with great fish variety, Yulequan Fishing Club (the old Bihai Fishing Ground) is a no-brainer. I’m already planning my next trip—maybe bring a friend along to compete for the biggest catch. Trust me, you won’t regret spending a day here!
