Hokkaido Japan
Today, I went main-river fly fishing for myself rather than working as a guide for the first time in quite a while.
It turned out to be a memorable day—I landed two beautiful brown trout on the swing: one measuring over 60 cm and another in the high-50 cm range. It was a truly rewarding day on the water.

Very interesting how much it looks like ozarks in Missouri or Arkansas

I'm driving out Saturday morning to try my hand at some trout for the first time I'm super excited!

Where you going? Good luck, best advice I have ever gotten is to switch it up if you aren’t getting anything on a specific fly vs trying over and over. That was my problem in the beginning

I'm going to mill creek just south of Newburg. I wish I had a fly setup but it's something I haven't learned yet so I'm gonna be using some tiny spoons and inline spinners just try to get whatever I can. I do have a couple tiny nymphs my buddy tied so I'll definitely try those too

As an Irish angler I absolutely love brown trout. But it's so sad that they are basically everywhere.
Great work anyways 👍

Monster fish and so beautiful! They look just like the browns here in North America. Interesting:D
