Fishing in Muthurajawela Sanctuary – A Wild Angler’s Dream

Located just south of Negombo Lagoon, Fishing in Muthurajawela Sanctuary promises an unforgettable adventure. Although it shares the same water body as the busy Negombo Lagoon, Muthurajawela feels worlds apart. It is remote, serene, and full of life.

Fed by the Ja-Ela and Attanagalla rivers, the sanctuary is rich with biodiversity. As a result, it offers perfect conditions for fishing. With the right guide and a bit of luck, you might hook a Barramundi, Featherback, Great Snakehead, or even a fierce Mangrove Jack.

Moreover, the thrill of fishing is only part of the experience. The sanctuary’s landscape is alive with birds, reptiles, and the gentle hum of untouched nature. Everywhere you look, something wild awaits.

For an even better experience, set out with an expert guide from CCT Sri Lanka. They know the secret spots where the big catches lurk. In short, Fishing in Muthurajawela Sanctuary is not just about fishing. It’s about escaping into Sri Lanka’s most vibrant wetlands and making memories that last.
