立牛川

立牛川 is a river flowing through 北海道, Japan. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At 立牛川, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

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.
