Fly Fishing in Niseko

Wild Hokkaido! • Season 5 • Episode 13

About this episode

Our stage this time is the 126km-long Shiribetsu River and its many tributaries flowing through the Niseko area in western Hokkaido Prefecture, where we enjoy fly fishing in early summer. Surrounded by rich nature, the spring-fed river is a paradise for mountain stream fish such as Landlocked Masu Salmon, White-spotted Char, and Rainbow Trout. A French fishing guide visited this place to challenge the fish here with his own flies at various fishing points such as gentle streams and stream pools.
