Lens Test part2

5:45-7:00  I know almost all fish doesn't wake up yet, but had no choice.

Could get only one chance this morning.

Fish on!

Side A

Side B. It was 8.5sun perfect AMAGO, and first one on this branch this year also.

New lens's performance check was well done at last .

I like this soft color contrast of spring in particular.

By the way, the repaired wading shoes sole

got broken again after 6 times fishing. It is time to...

Family Tennis

It's fun to play tennis together.

Likely hit point is a little lower.

Lens Test

From 6:30-7:15

Two attacks & one critical mistake...

You are here, FUTASUJI.

First 'L' lens

Finally I got this one called 'L lens' with KJ's help. Sooo excited!!

Just for a change

This year, one day license is enough for me.

Water was colored, so I couldn't see any fish from USUKUBO bridge...

Too muddy...

Long time no see, HOJIRO.

KINDAICHI bridge was still poor.

OKUMA's hatch was so poor, but some spinners were seen today.

Hello my late first fish.

He was rising for KOKAGE just close to the bank.

After 15:00, KOKAGE's hatch got restarted and rise got started!

Thank you for coming, brookie!

Had to say good bye before HIGENAGA time.

As one of PINARELLO riders,

I went up toward HAKONE this morning. I need to get used to this bike more though, it was fantastic ride time. I don't know how to express my thanks, but swear to cherish your bike, MAHIMAHI-san!

Sometimes white

This white wine was presented from curryman before.

Tasted nice, moderate dry. 4stars.

HANAMI & NODATE

Our favorite park for HANAMI

HANAIKADA

Our first trial for NODATE, an open-air tea ceremony.

Thank you for nice green tea, honey and sweetie.

11th anniversary

We celebrated our 11th anniversary 2 days later in TOCHIGI. You are the best daughter in a whole world, sweetie!

In the rain

Waiting for the fish, just like me.

Cherry blossoms are getting in bloom.

Nothing happened though, nice try Lance.

HIRATA crippled

Strong influenced by FF magazine No.220. I would like to use them when I see HIRATA's hatch and rise.

Weekday Fishing

I took a day off first time this year today. Needed a rest just for change.

                                              

Waiting a rise. But the main stream kept silence today.

I found a rise on second stream though, couldn't get it...

Blind fishing gave me a first fish on the rapids.

In the evening, couldn't see any rises at first hole. And found some at second hole though, it was not easy one. For fly fishing, difficulty is always fun itself.  I mean thank you for giving me lots of fun today.
By the way, HIRATA is getting pop out in the evening.

Fishing Guide D-chan

D-chan as my KANOGAWA mentor took me to his secret main stream hole today.

OKUMA was seen so often around noon. But it was hard to find the rise for me on main stream.

 D-chan gave me only one precious rise there. And I got it by OKUMA crippled dun pattern. Thank you so much!

Moved to another stream for blind fishing.

After two mistakes for good ones, caught small one there.

In the evening, the river kept silence. I had no chance to cast for rises.

My strong passion for the fly fishing is getting back now.
