Yesterday, while soaking in the hot water of Iwatake after the Hakuba trek, I thought about the unfinished business of this trip...
The answer was in the O River (^^)
I called the Lodge at the hot spring rest stop to check the water level and color, and then headed back to Shizuoka!
Went out slowly(left the car around 7:30), but AIT was unexpectedly empty, so I went in from there!
The water level was high enough to cross, but not too muddy.
The water was rising, so it was easy to narrow down the points because there were only slow-flowing zones and rolls.
It was nice to feel that the fish would come out if the current was strong enough! The catch was 4 amago and 1 iwana, and twice as many were misses or missed bites, so they were very active.
Almost I got to the lodge when I finally decided to turn back because I couldn't cross the river!
Fished from 8:30 to 14:30, and it was past 4:00 when we turned around and returned to the Akaishi Watershed by bicycle, arriving at the parking lot just after 5:00!
To my surprise, everything was paved at least as far as AIT! No more MTB is needed there?
