In the town hall are make shift tackle shops, of number of popularJapanese, American and odd European brands. An absolute happy hour for me.
Yet people like me cannot help but wonder every now and then, how it is
like ''if I were there now''.
- Back
We spent the next morning rambling about the lake side village. Ainu kotan,
the gathering place for the native Ainu people has an array of traditional
wood carvings to welcome the visitors. See their striking resemblance to
the totem poles of Canadian first nation people.
A happy hour of different taste for Sayuri, transit in Tokyo haneda airport.
Hundreds, or even thousands of mayflies dancing in the cooling air.
I too had a privilege to greet a solid 25incher in the end.
A breathtaking beauty.
A handsome prize on a monkage dry.
And we knew the party is now on.
The feast lasted for short half an hour. Or not even that maybe. But we
were totally satisfied heart and soul.
It took us a while to realize we stood in a sobering silence. And yet another
few moments to notice that, in the sky east, we were watching an eclipse.
Gentle handling and quick release are paramount especially because they
are all wild bred native treasures.
Self restraint is the key in this game.
No deep wading nor long casting. Just stand still and they will come to
you. When the rise comes within 15meters radius, that's when you shoot
the short line and hold your breath.
As the winds died away, variety of mayflies began their perilous adventure.
A magical scene every time we watch.
'10 Akanko in summer - 3A nice one for me too - with the silhouette of Mt. Oakan in the backdrop.
Sayuri's second 25incher of the trip.
The action went on, with Sayuri's 5wt Redington enjoying a good work out.
