Sea & Summit Adventures is incredibly excited to partner with Nick Hill Fly Fishing Co. to offer guided river tours to Hokkaido’s best fishing. Best doesn’t always mean popular. Nick has spent the past several years exploring the rivers of Hokkaido… from every bend of the Shiribetsu river that meanders it’s way from Mt. Yotei to the Sea of Japan, to the incredibly beautiful Akan in Eastern Hokkaido, a dream location with world class fishing opportunities and local culture.
The river levels change frequently, as do the preferred flies the fish are biting on. Nick has observed the fish for years and has a sense for what and when the fish are biting. Through his own trial and error, he has become a master at tying flies and changes them 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 and we hope you’ll allow Nick to guide you along the way!
