日野川

日野川, in 福井県, Japan, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at 日野川 is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese amberjack

  When targeting Japanese amberjack, vary your retrieval speed and jigging action to find what triggers strikes on a given day; they are often sensitive to presentation.

• For Black-finned armoured-gurnard

  Use a slow retrieve near the bottom, as these fish are bottom feeders that don't chase lures aggressively.

• For Japanese Spanish mackerel

  Japanese Spanish mackerel often hunt in schools; locate the baitfish and target the edges for best results. Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what works.
