Winter Fishing

Tenkara and Leurre fishing are the techniques used for our winter experiences. As much as we love the traditional fly fishing, the line manipulation and placement on the river makes it too difficult in the extreme winter conditions we experience in Hokkaido.

Tenkara is much more simple and once set up correctly allows us to fish from the riverside rather than the middle of the river. Leurre fishing is another option for those unfamiliar with nymph fishing that do not want to learn it in -10 degree celsius!

This tour will include snowshoeing to selected mountain streams to maximize the chances of catching a fish.

While the river is beautiful, the fish a bit slow, so you’ll need to be patient.

  • Price from ¥50 000 per day 

  • Maximum two people
