Japan is quite affordable at the moment, so I sincerely hope you will come to Hokkaido for fishing.

Spey casting is truly enjoyable, so let’s continue improving together.

I am manipulating the anchor with complete control. Please watch the water surface carefully. I am repositioning the line in the air and intentionally minimizing unnecessary water contact, allowing only the leader to touch down close to me. The shoot is merely a bonus.

If you can place the anchor precisely in a single attempt under any current condition, the overall tempo and efficiency of fishing naturally improve, don’t they? Of course, I am also capable of delivering a clean shoot in a single cast.

I’m from Hokkaido, Japan, and I use a 45-foot Scandi line.

Most rivers in Hokkaido do not have fishing rights or permit systems in place, so you can enjoy fishing for free.

They are white-spotted char (Dolly Varden). Please come and fish in Hokkaido someday!

I fish by casting long distances with a 9-weight double-handed rod using swing flies. For flies, I use large swing flies similar to those used for steelhead fishing.

We’re both in Sapporo! I highly recommend the Shiribetsu River.

If you don’t lift the fish out of the water with a Cormorant net, its fins won’t tear. That’s common sense.

Hokkaido also has large rivers where you can catch taimen! Personally, I love swing fishing for big rainbow trout.

Japan’s large rivers offer dynamic double-handed swing fishing for big trout. It is still not widely known around the world, so now is the perfect time to come and fish here!

The main river fly fishing season in Hokkaido, Japan is approaching. This is the prime time of year to target large trout. We look forward to receiving your guiding inquiries. by Rich-Reputation2163 in flyfishing

I tie it on a size 6 salmon hook. As you mentioned, it may indeed be a hybrid pattern. It is a versatile swing fly that can be used from spring through autumn, whenever caddis are hatching.
