| Fly fishing in Nagoya (Aichi Pref.) and Gifu Pref. (November 20th, 2001) |
| Mr. X I am hoping to begin teaching English in Nagoya or the Gifu prefecture
next year. I was curious about the fly fishing in these areas. I was especially
curious about salt water fishing in Nagoya. Are there rivers or streams
that have spawning salmon? Any information you could provide me with would
be very helpful.

| XLV750R Hello, Gifu Pref. is the hottest area in Japan. There are the big river that the Japanese Alps (3000m) are the source and many tributaries are a very wonderful mountain stream. It is Nagara-gawa Riv, Kiso-gawa Riv. etc. Iwana and Amago are inhabiting. And there is the Jinzuu-gawa Riv. in north and this flows in the Sea of Japan. Iwana and Yamame are inhabiting. Takahara-gawa Riv. that I am liking is one of a tributary. And Aichi Pref. is a neighbour and Nagoya is in an estuary. If it is Aichi Pref. inside it may be Kansa-gawa Riv. and Yahagi-gawa Riv. Large mouse Bass is able to angle in Lake Biwa-ko. These are the range in one hour by a car from Nagoya. (The north of Gifu is a little far.) As for in Gifu Pref. the opening is early most most in Japan. It is February 1st. I go to the Nagara-gawa Riv. in February every year. Although snow and be cold Shirame (Amago) does Rise! It is very enjoyable with the sensitive fishing by midge (#20-#26, 8x-10x!). Satsuki-masu (sea run Amago) is in Nagara-gawa Riv. and Kiso-gawa Riv. And there is the river that the cherry salmon is able to angle if it is a Sea of Japan side. Yet these are a minority and be rare to be able to angle. I recommend that you live in Nagoya. If it is Takayama-shi Gifu Pref. as for you the job is not produced. Because it is 15 minutes by a car to the mountain stream. :-) Please read following about salmon. |
