勇払川

Running through 北海道, Japan, 勇払川 is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at 勇払川 hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Cherry salmon

  Fish upstream, casting into likely holding areas like behind rocks and in deep pools, and retrieve with the current.

• For Big-scaled redfin

  Fish near submerged structures like rocks or fallen trees, as Big-scaled redfin often use these as ambush points; vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers bites.
