Gone fishing with curryman during Summer vacation

Left curryman's home around 4AM, and could start biking around 7:40.

9:52 Joyful first fish was...

Just SYAKU male one! Looks like YAMATO, doesn't it?

Nevertheless there was the landslide over there, some fishermen were seen around upper stream area.

Reaction from fish was not bad though, most of them took fly very nervously. So it caused many miss-hooking today including big one's...

10:58 2nd one.

11:28 Orange colored tummy of 3rd one.

It sometimes rained strongly and intermittently in the morning.

12:02 4th fish.

Sometimes it was covered with thick clouds.

12:09 5th

12:15 6th

12:55 7th

13:04 8th one by Beetle pattern.

13:24 Got 9th small fish.

13:36 Beautiful green backed 10th one.

13:44 11th one was about 25cm length.

Partly sunny in the afternoon.

14:38 12th one at upper stream.

14:54 13th small one.

15:03 same sized 14th one.

Let's go back to the bike place.

Typical clouds in summer.

16:06 Could be back to the parking space.

16:38 Good start of evening fishing as 15th one.

17:02 16th.

17:37 17th as the last one.

I think I could enjoy IWANA fishing in summer.

Got lots of reaction from deep slow water near the white bubbles.

First camping 2018

7/30 12:29 Saw the partial rainbow at SUWAKO SA.

13:31 Arrived at OGUROGAWA valley campground.

The reason why I chose this campground was two,

there is the river for kid's watering as their strong request and opened tent site for my wife's astronomic observation.

13:34 She caught the dragonfly soon.

16:11 Took a longer time to set up because of hard ground than I imagined...

First camping with tent and tarp.

17:36 Dad is always busy through the camping...

Thick and yummy 1 pounded Australian beef steak I bought at SUNTOMOON store.

18:02 Getting comfortable weather.

18:59 Baked sweet potato wrapped by aluminium foil.

Their s'more time got started at 19:33.

7/31 Got up around 4:30 AM and started fishing around 5AM.

5:01 Small AMAGO from the moderate stream.

5:08 Soon IWANA as 2nd one. 

There were some good reactions from around the stream, but almost no reaction from the slow water and deep hole like water pocket called 'MAKI' in Japanese.

5:17 Must be escapee from anywhere.

Kept fishing upstream until around 7AM though,

got almost no reaction at the upper section.

8:18 Busy dad's time got started.

9:55 Let's go hunting bugs around there.

After bug hunt, I took them to the river for watering.

We couldn't stay there in daytime without watering even in the shade...

19:54 Fireworks time.

And we enjoyed astronomic observation also.

It was a debut day of my wife's telescope on 8/1.

5:06 I helped their observation of moon in the early morning before my fishing.

I missed two good chase at the lower section this morning...

6:17 First beautiful IWANA this morning.

Very fine weather today also.

6:25 Got the biggest nice one on this trip.

Enough as the fishing during family camping.

7:25 Waiting for kid's wake up.

Enjoyed wonderful slow time there we all.
