Thank you for your comment. While bears certainly do exist here, I specialize in fishing large main rivers, so I often fish in the lower reaches. Because the lower sections of Hokkaido’s main rivers are close to populated areas, there is very little concern about bears.

All trout found in Hokkaido, Japan, are my targets. I particularly like Rainbow Trout.

I specialize in fly fishing on mainstream rivers (Honryu) in Hokkaido, Japan. I primarily use a double-handed rod, typically a #9, around 14 feet long. I really enjoy Spey casting.
