桧原湖

Tucked into 福島県, Japan, 桧原湖 is a reservoir 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 桧原湖 should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.
