Missed two good bites...

6:21 2nd one by soft hackle.

There were many crane flies seen above JIEITAI bridge.

Back to the hole in front of hot springs, and had good baetis's hatch and several chances...

OSHINO on Father's Day

One of Father's Day's gifts was going fishing.

Could fish from 7 AM to 4 PM.

Weather was so sunny fine day.

Water color was a little muddy though, there were several rises in the morning around the OSHINO hot spring hole. God several attacks on my CDC stonefly pattern though, couldn't catch any.

Moved upper stream and found the floating good big IWANA. Tied Black CDC baetis danima pattern, and he bit it without hesitation.

36cm nice OSHINO IWANA!

Afternoon I was played by so nice YAMAME above the bridge for a long time. Could set a hook on him finally though, he was hooked off soon. Had fun time there.

Fly fishing is fantastic. I realized that again today. Let's dive into it, Lance!
