湯ノ湖

Tucked into 栃木県, Japan, 湯ノ湖 is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to 湯ノ湖 should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For Ayu

  Focus on fishing upstream and retrieve lures with a twitching action to mimic injured baitfish, particularly when using minnow-style lures.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
