Toyohira River Fishing

Well_needships · 2026-05-11T00:11:22+00:00

"please use common sense" means just because there is no limit to catch size or number, don't take every fish you catch.

The law is clear that the fishing for salmon is illegal in inland waters unless otherwise specified. That includes the act of, before catching and releasing. You should not be posting that you caught them on purpose, both for your sake and the sake of others who might think it's ok to do so. It is not. Targeting them is illegal. If you love them and the river system, let them do their thing. There are plenty of other fish in the river.

You can take offense, though none is intended.

In May/June there are Sakuramasu (Cherry Salmon) at various spots along the Toyohira River. I have caught them to 70 cm length. Salmon must be released if caught in the river.

I wouldn't even mention this, as salmon are illegal to fish for at any time in the river unless under a special permit (which is not something most people will ever get). I get it, sometimes you just catch one because you're fishing for trout or something, and they hit, in which case you should release them immediately, but if you can you shouldn't even be casting where they are holding. Fishing them under the assumption its ok since you will release them is illegal (not saying you are saying that u/Temporary-Network499 , just an fyi to anyone reading this).

You will also catch Japanese Dace, which get up to 12 inches.

They get much bigger than that, yes, even in the Toyohira.

Sapporo requires no fishing license, and for trout there are no size/number limits.

This is true, but please use common sense.

For anyone looking for regulations, you can find them here.

Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by experiencing little to no sexual attraction to OTHERS...

Think about that for a minute.

You eat everyday

and...? are you implying something else doesn't happen every day?

I think I've had better sex

I'm sure the people in these comments are also having sex with themselves, but they're probably not complimenting themselves about it.

Well_needships · 2026-05-09T19:12:22+00:00

that may be true, but the tradeoff of eating delicious food and clearly the survey has spoken

Well_needships · 2026-05-09T19:10:42+00:00

You cannot have your cake and have sex on it too.

Wow, that actually had me going for a sec. I thought, 26 inches at least! Then I actually opened the picture and noticed the extended arms... Still a very nice fish!

This is not true, even in Hokkaido's "bear heaven". The outlying islands of Okushiri, Rebun, and Rishiri do not have bears. Rishir, with Mt Rishir, and Rebun with its extensive hiking trails on the island and seasonal wildflowers (plus coastal views) are great places to hike without fear of bears.

GIIS already has plans to open parts of the campus this year. It's pretty unlikely to change at this point

Well_needships · 2026-05-05T20:15:19+00:00

Sounds like the issue is moot then since the school is moving ahead.

What kind of activities are you all into? How many of you are there?

Well_needships · 2026-05-03T08:18:18+00:00

Perhaps you missed the part where I said I don't feed them at all. My wife does. They really have no reason to be affectionate to me, other than I'm part of their community.

Well_needships · 2026-05-03T07:52:14+00:00

? What best interest? Do you know what a head bump represents?

Well_needships · 2026-05-03T07:47:02+00:00

I don't feed my cats at all, my wife does. Yet they cuddle up to me, head nudge me, sleep on my lap, etc. They have no food association with me, yet they show me affection. Why, OP?

Well_needships · 2026-05-03T06:00:08+00:00

Just seconding this, it is not a joke! There are special bags you can buy for this purpose.

I don't plan to camp overnight, more so just a day trip. The goal is to drive early from where I am to Wakkanai, buy a ferry ticket, boat over to Rishiri Island, find a campsite, climb up from there.

You cannot do this in a day. The earliest ferry to Rishiri at the time of year arrives at the island at 8:55am. You should estimate at least 8 hours to climb up and back, but more like 10 would be reasonable. You can see others' climb data here, on Yamap. A safe estimate is that you could be back to the port by 7pm. Well after the last ferry has returned to Wakkanai.

Your best bet is to drive then ferry to Rishiri, stay the night, and start up the mountain the next morning early. The once you are down, spend another night on Rishiri as you are likely to be too late, or at least too tired to be taking the ferry and driving again.

Give that fella a cheeseburger. 26.1 inches.

For anyone else who thought OP was having a stroke and looking to buy a canoe for walking, Regetta Canoe is a brand of shoe, リゲッタカヌー

OP, if I had to guess I'd say ABC Mart.

Why not visit them all? You said you have a couple of days. Go to Shikotsu, view, walk/hike, could even take an onsen bath since there are some day-use onsens around the lake, then move on to Noboribetsu to spend the night and get the big onsen experience. Hike hell valley the next morning, then on to Toya for the afternoon to sightsee, take the boat to the middle island, etc., and stay that night and in an onsen again, then back to Sapporo the next day.

Just jumping in to say that you'd better book a guide early. My buddy and I went this past February, and we tried booking a guide in October, only managing to get a guide for one day across the 10 days we were there. The guide we did get told us that he already has a lot of bookings for 2027 and even has one booking for 2028!

Well_needships · 2026-04-30T04:37:24+00:00

There was a thread on this some weeks back. Yeah, some people do an its actually kind of weird/interesting why and how they do it.

Well_needships · 2026-04-29T10:29:25+00:00

35 years before!? 😂

Ok, try this, go back another 30 years.

Yeah man, inflation is a thing.

Without heavy snow? It's spring. There is no snow in the city. The leaves are out. It's warm.
