SUMMER

Summers in Japan have been extremely hot in recent years. It is difficult to fish in the summer when not only the temperature but also the water temperature rises." Natsu Yamame". The phrase "Natsu Yamame" means "It is enough to catch just one Yamame in summer". It has been said for a long time that catching just one yamame in the summer is enough. However, many of my client's trophies are caught in summer, not autumn, with the largest being a 48 cm yamame and 37cm yamame same date. My own largest Brown Trout in the Saigawa River was also caught on the surface in the summer - 68 cm.
