HOUKI_GAWA C&R Section


Just for change, I picked HOUKI_GAWA River Catch & Release Section as today's destination. It is famous for the large scale, scenic beauty and good rainbow trout.



Maybe I was missing American fly fishing in summer. I tied form beetle pattern first.

First fish was typical hatchery one though, gave me lots of fun!




Water itself was so clear. Wide and very strong stream.

I could enjoy nymph fishing with indicator also, and several fishes were caught. Especially sight nymphing was so exciting, but I couldn't catch several huge ones...






KAWAGARASU(Brown Dipper) was so busy for his hunting of aquatic insects.





This bow was so nice fighter, and had pretty red band. Long cast to the shade on the opposite bank was needed.





I couldn't catch any big boys though, could enjoy fly fishing with #5 rod after very long interval.

River's scale, scenery and beautiful red banded bow, everything there reminded me of fly fishing in US today.

お久しぶりです。きれいな川ですね。キャノンからも防水のカメラ、でたみたいですね。次に防水カメラ買うときは、キャノンにしようと思ってます。たまにはこちらにも遊びにきてください。

yokoyam3さん、大変ご無沙汰しております。Boiseの魚達が恋しい今日この頃なので、隙あらば遊びに行きたいところですが…。

カメラ、お気遣いありがとうございます(笑)。ただ、初代モデルだけに、どの程度こなれているかもわからないので、慎重にお選びくださいませ。

最近またペンタックス買ったばかりで、次に買うまでしばらくあると思いますので、それまでには十分こなれているでしょう。キャノンの方が色が好きなので、やはり次はキャノンですヨ〜
