| XLV750R The gain party of private is managing the license in Japan, and it is necessary every river and the license (fee) differs every object fish. It is 2 or 3 of classification almost. 1) Fishes of all the kinds including the AYU-fish 2) Trout that excluded the AYU-fish 3) Except for the AYU-fish and trout The person who inspects the license in the field is a private citizen because the license of Japan is not the jurisdiction of a state (pref.). Also he sells the license on site. It may become the extra charge of 100% from 50% in the case that you did not purchase the license the advance. The extra charge is his compensation. The custom called "Catch and Release" is not general in Japan regretfully. Even fly-angler is the same as a job fisherman in the rule. It is classified to the fishing industry of play. Fishing license, it are the admission fee to a river. You can buy the fishing license in the store and house near river. There are many case that such a flag is standing. It is written as "Fishing License" with the Chinese character. It is 1-day ticket or the 1 year ticket in Japan. So, it prints this and please show. It is written this way. |
| I want to buy the 1-day fishing license. I do flyfishing. (= in Japanese "Kebari-Tsuri" ) Is there any restriction for flyfishing? The object fish is Iwana, Yamame and Rainbowtrout. I do not fish the AYU-fish (sweetfish). I request it very much. |
| Flyfishing may be restricted in the river other than Chiba Pref. It is
a period and place and this with the "AYU-fish" (sweetfish). As for in most of the rivers of Japan the AYU fishing is main. The license including the AYU fishing is most expensive. The life of the AYU-fish is 1 year. When it becomes May every year the young AYU will trace back it from the sea. Also the young AYU is released from the hatchery. Those are about 3 inches. The young AYU is prohibition of fishery. Because the opening of the AYU fishing is July generally as for this period, there are some restriction for flyfishing. Because the young AYU does RISE! and attack to a small fly. The area of the AYU is the lower part of the area of a trout. Here is also the area of a large trout. If you pay attention the trout is able to be distinguished. It differs that Point, Rise form, furthermore Size. Yet, a few misdirected person poaches it. This is very regrettable. However, it is recognized in recent years. FlyFishing is to fish the trout. And restriction was gone with many rivers. Even the section that designated Catch and Release is increasing with the diffusion of flyfishing. This is very desirable. |
