Q & A
Tokyo Met. periphery.(Tamagawa-Riv. Yozawa Flyfishing Area)
(December 19th, 2002)


Mr. X
I would very much like some information on fishing on the tamagawa river in tokyo. I live very close to tamagawa and I would like to know if it is posable to fly fish or lure fish in this area.

The trout inhabits in the top valley from Oume-shi of the Tamagawa Riv. It is a very wide area.  Yet now the trout is prohibition of fishery.  The opening is March. And an opening day differs every river.

If you live in Fussa-shi periphery. There is in the suburbs of Tokyo Met.  You live in the place where is near the mountain stream more I.  I recommend Yozawa Flyfishing Area. Although there is a special charge (4500Yen/day) releasing many mountain stream fishes.  If you can take the vacation in the weekdays it is very good.

Please get on the JR-Itsukaichi line from Haijima station.  Please get on a taxi from the Musashi-Itsukaichi station on the terminal. It should connect with "Yozawa Flyfishing Area".  Although a bus is cheap 2nd thereafter let's make it. 
The tackle is #3 to #5. The fly may be good with #12-16 Para-dun and EH-Caddis .

Yet, even Yozawa is prohibition of fishery now.
Also, if it is the part of fishing park as for you the anniversary trout fishing may be produced.

If it is a carp although it is not a trout there is not a closed season.
The carp inhabits in all area of the Tamagawa Riv.

If it is Setagaya-ku periphery a carp is in all area. Even the mudcat-fish is inhabiting.
SeaBass is able to angle in the lower stream from the Maruko-Bashi bridge of the Tamagawa Riv. and the Tokyo Bay. The nature and way of fishing are the same as StripedBass.

Also, there is below in the range of about for one hour by a car.
*Lake Okutama-ko (an artificial lake) = Trout, Bass.
*Fuji 5 lakes (there is not a closed season) = Trout, Bass
*The Katsuragawa Riv.
