Q & A
Fishing license Part2. (July 2nd, 2002)

Flyfishing and Rurefishing, in other words, GameFishing are when they began in Japan around 1980. The bait fishing is a mainstream in Japan to it and the fishing was the sense called a fishing industry in other words. Even now the Fishing license is the definition that buys the right of the fishing industry. And even Catch and Release is not general yet.

I heard as the persons who do part of radical target persons, in other words, catch and release in that time without buying the license as the demonstration.
Because we release it it is not a fishing industry.

Also there is not punishment even if you do not purchase an advance. It is only about 50% of extra charges even now. Be not a fine even this it is the fee of an official.

Even flyfishing is acknowledged widely now and even catch and release was established in a part of river. There is the place called bait fishing prohibition.
And, license is unnecessary except for a part of river in Hokkaido. Yet many river itself are prohibition of fishery.

I purchase a license as the demonstration of a reverse meaning.
And I am purchasing a effective year license in Yamanashi prefecture all area about the Katsuragawa River which is a home ground.

I do not think that the license system of now is good. I think that it is very expensive also.
Yet the rule can be confirmed when I purchase a license. It is various regulations, especially be the item concerning a Ayu (sweetfish).

As for recent, first of all custom called license purchase came to stay in flyfisherman. Also the store where is able to purchase license even from that time increased.
And I think that it is facing in very good direction with Catch and Release.
