and Lake Caliraya are two connected man-made lakes which was the
result of an infrastructure project. It was actually a large
reservoir built by American engineers in 1943 to supply water to
the Caliraya Hydroelectric Plant. As the dams were constructed,
entrepreneurs with foresight created two adjacent communities
which were envisioned to be ecological communities, where one
can enjoy the beauty and richness of unspoiled nature. The
results were man-made mountain lakes complete with coves and
sand bars - Lake Caliraya and Sierra Lakes. also seeded the lake
with Largemouth Black Bass imported from the USA, which continue
to proliferate and provide game fishers with year-round weekend
excitement. In fact, the two lakes are the only place in the
whole country where Philippine anglers can attempt to catch the
famed Largemouth Black Bass, one of the top freshwater gamefish
of the United States of America.
