Ongata Bass Fishing Pond – Hachioji, Tokyo
Ongata Bass Fishing Pond holds mix of large mouth bass, rainbow trout, and white bass in its small water. Water springs into this small pond from nearby well, so it is gin clear and best for sight fishing. There are structures prepared to hide nervous fish, so you can make your casting practice before trying real field elsewhere. You can fish from one hour, so it neatly fits urban anglers who don't want to spend the whole day.
As for fly anglers.... well... pond's perimeter is really tight and doesn't allow comfortable back space for arial cast. Only way to arial cast is to short cast, to side cast when path is clear, and to cast from the small island.
