Green park

I joined them last night in TOCHIGI. We went to the Green park nearby.

These shucks were smaller than ABURAZEMI, must be TSUKUTSUKUHOUSHI.

Super hatch of HIMEKAGERO!

Fishing trip with O was canceled early morning today because of bad weather. But I found the weather around OSHINO would be fine afternoon. So I decided to drop in OSHINO on the way to my wife's parents' house.

14:02 got started to fish.

15:13 beautiful golden brown trout by MADARA para. Good Job!

15:51 2nd one by same pattern.

Likely mixed hatch of Baetis and MADARA.

16:14 PMD crippled dun worked well also as AKAMADARA(my guess).

17:02 4th one escaped just before my taking pic.

17:28 5th one had nice tail fin. Must be wild OSHINO bow.

17:36 nice red band!

18:47 My pic was poor though, HIMEKAGERO's super hatch and crazy rises got started!
Unfortunately I didn't have any white small fly pattern, my small black fly was ignored completely...
So I tied FUTASUJI's crippled dun, which hatched intermittently.

18:51 It gave me a 7th luck. Thanks!

18:55 1st brown in the evening.



19:00 brown again.



19:04 Wow three consecutive brown as 10th.
I would like to tie of HIMEKAGERO's pattern soon.

MADARA

I liked this brown and black grizzly hackle very much.
Please give me a luck tomorrow.

Cloudy OSHINO; #22~24 parachute only

I didn't have any fishing plan today. But I got up very early morning, and my wife & daughters were already gone to their grandpa & grandma' house. Let's go, Lance.

8:12 arrived at FUJIKYU
Terrestrial pattern didn't work well.



9:04 first fish with messy
Small parachute worked well.

9:39 released small one just upper of KINDAICHI bridge.

Moved upper, and there were several rises for small mayfly.
I still kept same small parachute.

10:16 released 3rd good one.

12:35 after countless mistakes, got one.

13:01 5th one was small hatchery fish. 

17:10 moved to FUJIKYU for evening.
Many fishermen were seen around KINDAICHI.

The rise itself was poor this evening at FUJIKYU.

17:57 Joyful first evening fish after long time silence.

18:23 last one was hatchery YAMAME.
I'll be back soon.

KANOGAWA branch in summer

First of all, I have to introduce my new fishing friend 'TSURITAIKUN_3go' . We've known each other through the very unique bar master. And we met each other at wine bar first time last night. To my surprise we are the same grade and we played the final match of junior high school baseball in SHIZUOKA! What a unusual fate!!

Because of our drinking too much last night,
we had very slow start today.

Hello, baby!

His choice of the river was perfect.
We spent a cool afternoon in spite of super sunny day.

Moved to another branch in the evening.

Thank you for guiding me today, TSURITAIKUN-3go.

Deer's foot print?

I would like to visit the KANOGAWA branch in fall again.

AI#4 to go her favorite amusement park

FUJIKAWA_RAKUZA was one of her destinations of this summer. She has liked it since she visited on a school excursion. I don't know whether she could understand the generation of electricity or not, pretty sure that she had fun time there.  

It was my last AI(action item) of this week, you did it well, Lance. Please take care of yourself...(He got weariness from the heat later )

AI#3 to catch the stag beetle

What she caught is...

MIYAMA stag beetle!

We kept 2 big ones and released 2 small ones(including this pic) this morning.
Thanks a lot, curryman!!
