Last early morning fishing at OSHINO in this year, I believe...

3:50 Ready for the rise at the lower section.

4:17 Just after his escaping...

I missed one good fish before it by FN pattern also.

4:22 2nd one by same FN pattern. Good pace!

It was a kind of foggy early morning today.

4:31 3rd good one.

I found that FN pattern got effective

in the end of KUROMADARA's season.

4:49 Last one as 4th at this hole.

Moved upstream.

5:13 5th tiny one by sight nymphing.

Getting brighter.

5:56 Got the biggest one today as 6th.

7:24 Very beautiful 7th one as the last fish of today by soft hackle pattern.

Good bye, OSHINO for a while.

I learned many things this year also, thanks a lot!

Gone Kayaking

11:33 Visited ASHINOKO lake once though, gave up boating because it was too hot even around the lake today...

13:45 Arrived at YAMANAKAKO lake.

Swan and Swan boat.

Let's Kayaking!

You got good at kayaking, my sugar!

Be careful.

Her piano reciatal

Her performance was best comparing with any of her practice. Good job, my sugar.

Explosion of FN pattern, first time this season

3:54 I bet on this FN pattern today, although it didn't work well yet this season.

Starting of rises for KUROMADARA was approximately around 4:10.

4:12 Very first catch by FN pattern.

Nice glow in the morning sky.

4:20 Good bow for 2nd one.

4:26 Good YAMAME as 3rd one, nice pace.

Most successful pace through this season.

4:34 Beautiful bow as 4th.

After KUROMADARA's hatch, I focused on the several quiet rises on upper stream. 

I spent difficult but fun time until 7:15 today.

So, likely I need to make a plan for next weekend.

Slow start and got better by spinner fall

3:45 Nobody there, of course.

4:32 Late first fish having orange tummy by #16 crippled dun. I couldn't get many rises for about 30 minutes today again. Need to find the reason... 

Moved upstream before 5AM.

6:47 2nd one was a kind of big boy by spent caddis pattern.

I could see several KUROMADARA's spinner having yellow egg, and spotty rises. So tied spinner pattern soon.

7:06 Superb wild bow as 3rd one!

I liked it very much, not so huge though.

Fish seemed to get interested in the surface of stream.

7:16 4th one as the last one.

KUROMADARA's spinner pattern was so effective this time flame today.

Got some bites though, couldn't catch them more.

7:35 Let's go back home.
