| Boast of Fish in 2003 - February The season in 2003 started. |

| I went to the Chikuma-gawa Riv. of Nagano Pref. on February 16th. It is an opening day exactly and there were many fishermen in spite of snow. |


| We did the wise judgment :-) that high place of height above sea level may be few fishermen because there is much snow more. And the judgment was too correct. It was the snowfall over expectation......... |

| However, I found RISE! I lost the first hit and did the 2nd time Gett.
Although the Iwana was a small size I was satisfied. Satisfaction and the need of hot tea suspended my fishing. However, the biggest reason is that the line froze. |
