旧江戸川

Running through 千葉県, Japan, 旧江戸川 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 旧江戸川 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 Korean rockfish

  Target rocky areas and kelp forests; vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are hitting.

• For Japanese seabass

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth to find what the fish are responding to on any given day; seabass can be quite finicky.

• For Whip stingray

  Target sandy or muddy bottoms in bays and estuaries, and use a slow retrieve to allow the ray to find your bait or lure. Consider using a fish finder to locate areas where whip stingrays are congregating.
