Tenkara King!

Hello. Me the fishing guide in Hakuba.

I went to the mountain stream of Hakuba Village, Nagano to guide Mr. Hisao Ishigaki yesterday.
Mr. Hisao Ishigaki, as some of you know, is the man known as the King of Tenkara and legendary Kebari fishing star.

When we were driving together, I enjoyed talking with Ishigaki-sensei and couldn't stop discussing the philosophy of fishing and the ways of thinking about nature. And then we finished Tenkara upstream fishing safely that amazing moment felt like time was running out very quickly.

I thought I was guiding Ishigaki-sensei over multiple spots in Hakuba, but on a contrary, I learnt a lot of Tenkara special techniques from him.

Yes! I've got the King's techniques! You know..It was a dream of the day for me.

The mountain stream's temperature was about 14℃, bait activation was fine, nice weather and perfect condition for everything.

What surprised me was, when we went a point of upstream, an acquaintance of mine was there befor we went in coincidence. But even though, the king could catch plenty fishes! And I've got another things happen but those gave me full filling the time for me. Then I became motivated to have more and more room for my fishing experience and improvement.
