Disney

Long wait time, sunny hot day and a crowd of people...

Could barely see it.

From 9 to 12.

They seemed to have a fun time there.

I need to take a rest for a while...

How about usual early morning?

Fished 4:40-6:31 this morning.

5:01 First small one.

Could see several FUTASUJI-MONKAGE there. If the fish rose for it, it would be so nice. In addition, there several species of aquatic insect were seen from the early morning, middle sized yellow stone fly, HIRATA's spinner and so on.

5]28 2nd baby.

1 Couldn't set a hook(it was good fish).

1 reaction.

They likely were getting active.

Good sign.

Thanks to my elder daughter

I could fish from 13 to 16 today.

1 line break,

1 reaction,

and caught 1 cool buck. This one attacked my #14 EHC once, so I changed Peacock Parachute. Then he was going to take it again. I liked him very much.

Within 1 hour time limit

Left the bank after 9:30, it was over 10 minutes later than I planed... Arrived the parking and rushed to wear the fishing stuff. Went down to the stream in harry and got fished around 10:10.

Original finish time was 11:00 AM though, I couldn't catch any at that time through several attacks to my fly...

God gave me a luck at the last hole after 11:05! Took a pic very quickly and almost run to the parking. Could catch the courtesy bus to the office though, I would like to enjoy fishing without any time limit...

Trekking on the neighboring trail

So nice weather! Let's go outing, girls.

Ladybug was moving very busily.

Younger daughter found lucky clover by herself!

Mantis(which my wife dislike very much)'s egg case.

YAMASANAE?

Typical colored SAWAGANI around here.

My hometown's one has red color.

Caught it well?

It reminded me of the tasty beer...

Beautiful bamboo shoot.

TAKEKURABE, comparison of statures.

AKATATEHA butterfly.

It was a kind of moderate trekking for us all.

They have left the nest all at once

Still both of parents birds looked very busy today also.

But this morning, parent bird sometimes stayed near the nest.

And they kept twittering just like calling young birds,

as if to ask them to go out.

And they all five did it!

How did you feel your first step to the ground?

They got away from their nest a little by little.

Don't keep staying on the road long time, please.

Always parent bird led them.

I would like to be such a parent.

They did almost occupy the house next door.

Looking carefully, the parent bird led them having food.

Very effective way, I agreed.

And now we family all miss them a lot!

Lance's off in May

Went to the bank first, and did it very well. Good job, Lance! So you are free from now today. Please switch off once and enjoy the stream in May.

Could catch the beautiful one at the branch stream. Long time no see! And it was the first fish for the new short rod also. The reaction of fish was good. Got many attacks, but they were too short to set a hook. And they weren't baby ones but good ones.

Moved down to the lower section, then...

TGIG(Thanks God It was 26 Good fish)!

Checked the main stream from 15:00 to around 17:00.

There was no sign from fishes. It must be the last fishing on the mainstream, which will be closed next middle of the week. Although I couldn't catch any on the mainstream this year, I could experience many things. Looking forward to the next year season.
