Japan is a paradise for fly fishing. Paradise doesn’t always mean popular, and it’s still relatively unknown and unexplored by foreign fishermen. We’ve been exploring the rivers of Japan’s north island of Hokkaido… from every bend of the Shiribetsu river that meanders its way from Mt. Yotei to the Sea of Japan, to the Tokachi region of Central Hokkaido and the rugged and incredibly beautiful Akan, in Eastern Hokkaido. We live in a dream location with world-class fishing opportunities and local Japanese culture.
The river levels change frequently, as do the preferred flies the fish are biting on. Our guides have a keen sense for what and when the fish are biting, changes flies frequently while on the river, to find what’s working at any given time and place.
Whether you are hoping to catch your first fish on the fly, chase a familiar trout, or catch a unique native fish, Hokkaido provides the opportunity to chase that next adventure.
