How about rainy day?; 4th trip to Oshino


When I found that it would be rainy today, a bright idea occurred to me.

There was a rumor which Baetis 'Kokagerou' liked rainy day for its hatch, so I would like to just make sure of it today.

We had intermittent showers today, totally it was a kind of comfortable.







Contrary to my expectation, it was just usual Oshino, which meant there were a few hatches and rises, not easy...

#20 Compara dun, Crippled dun pattern was likely got their attention.

One of great findings was my CDC Onashi pattern was attacked several times!







On the other hand, I couldn't see any Ohkuma adult and #14 Crippled one didn't work at all today. Maybe it's already gone.












It was only 3hours fishing today though, I think I had good time there today also.

どうもお久しぶり。忍野にかなり通われている様ですね。日本でフライをやったこと無いので、日本の事情はよく知らないのですが、忍野はまさにフライのメッカという感じですね。今度日本に行ったらいってみたいですね。ところで皆さんどれくらいの番手の竿でこのわ川を攻められてるんでしょうか?

yokoyam3さん、ご無沙汰しております。忍野は非常に独特なところですが、水生昆虫が豊かで、魚もかなりスレていて、手ごわいのと、湧水特有のドリフトの難しさが重なって、自分にとっては、非常に良い修行の場です。ほとんど魚達に遊ばれていますけどね(笑)。番手は#3~4が一般的のようです。私は初めて買った初心者向けの#4ロッドを使っています。バックがない場所が多く、ロールキャスト等のトリックキャストを多用することになるので、わりと柔らかめの竿の方が好まれているようです。
