I return to the Muka River in Central North Hokkaido. In this morning session, I fish a stretch downstream from the bridge I finished at last year.
Access and Fishing Notes
Directions:
This stretch of the river is about half way between the Kitami-Yamato Post Office and the Recycling centre.
From Asahikawa to the West or Kitami to the East, just follow route 39 all the way to the river. The road closely follows the river between the post office and the recycling centre.
Access:
Access to the river is possible at the bridge and just upstream. There is a large parking bay close to the bridge.
Conditions:
Weather was fine and warm with partial cloud cover and a light wind.
Technique:
I used a 5-weight fly rod and floating, tapered line. Fished mostly upstream with a mixture of dry fly patterns.
Fish:
Lots of small rainbow trout and some Japanese native trout (Yamame).
