Final fishing this year

After I got transferred to the marketing group, I started getting really busy and I couldn't write this blog.

I went flyfishing to a lake in Tochigi pref. Yesterday. I went alone by rent-a-car because my friend went to another lake for ice fishing.

We couldn't get a big fish.

It'll be a last fishing of the year.

Japanese smelts

I went to a lake in Gumma-Pref. for ice fishing this Wednesday. I could take the day off this Wednesdy to make up for last sunday. As may be expected of weekday, Few anglers went there.

I caught 39 Japanese smelts. It was a first time to fish on the ice. And then I ate the small fish as that dinner. Its was so delicious.

It was sunny, so I was snow-tanned.
I'll cast for a trout next month because of the opening of the trout fishing season in March.

the closing of my fishing for the year

I went fly-fishing at a lake in Tochigi pref. yesterday. It taked about 3 hours by car from Tokyo.

The day was so cold and it was snow and windy. So I guessed the lake was clear, however I saw many angler there.

I caught some trout. Maybe the picture is Yamame-trout. Also I caught smoll rainbow trout. And I caught no trout but in bad condition. You know these was cultured trouts.

I wanted to try my new rod and real. the rod is Powell and that half price. The rod is $99 and then real is JPY5,000. Line is more expensive than the real. that's a laugh.

New Bakery shop

A bakery shop has opend in my neighbouhood.
I'll be able to have a good breakfast everyday.
Freshly baked bread is so delicious.

harling

I went flyfishing with old friend Yesterday.

It was Baragi-lake in Gumma Prefecture.

It takes about 3 hours From Tokyo by car.

I enjoyed flyfishing with harling in this lake.

Harling is the way that you tow a fly by rowboat like trolling.

I caught some rainbow trout. the landing net I had was too small, so I felt uneasy.


Those rainbow trouts were good condition, running well, and jumping many times.



Where shall I go next month?

deep depression

I went to language school after work today.
I couldn't talk about what I wanted to speak in English freely once again.
I thought that I tried to study with English paperback book a while ago. However I couldn't understand it and I quitted in just a few days every time.

Salmon

I went to Hokkaido again with my old friends in this mid September.

My dream to catch Salmons finally came true when I took 4 days off in the half-year ending September.

We can catch salmons at not so many river in Japan.

One of these is Churui River.

I could catch some pink salmon however I couldn't see many fresh-run and that I caught only one chum salmon. But she run away before I took a picture.

I bought a new rod and reel. these are L.L.Bean. I can take advantage of direct importing because of the strong JPY.

I've had a good season this year.

Best wishs for a excellent next season.
