DAIWA × HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB

Just like America! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB chases black bass amidst the mystical scenery of Katakura Dam!

This time, HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB headed for Katakura Dam (Lake Sasagawa) in Chiba Prefecture. It is conveniently located about an hour and a half from central Tokyo, and is upstream from Kameyama Lake, which we visited previously. We have been gradually gaining experience and have managed to catch bass, but we are still inexperienced anglers! So this time, too, we will try to improve our skills with the support of DAIWA. Fishing is deep and interesting because each time we make new discoveries and challenges remain!

A sense of skill development and new challenges.

I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been, Mr. Fishhead? He was fighting alone in the standing timber area, but he couldn't catch anything. But I'm going to catch it this time. This is ...... my revenge for my life! I'm going to catch it this time. Today, Mr. Fishhead was in Toman mode.

So at 5:00 p.m., time was up, and after 11 hours of fishing, both those who caught fish and those who didn't were left feeling like they hadn't caught enough.

Ishii:Good night, everyone. How was it?

Hiramoto:As expected, we mainly fished with light worms. Everyone caught more fish than I had expected, so I felt the power of Orikin's guiding, which helped me narrow down the area.

TK:Katakura Dam was wide, with standing timber and overhangs, and was fun to throw.

Komatsu:For me, that was difficult. ......

Ishii:But there was more game in casting than ever before, and it was fun!

Hiramoto:Yes, it is. There is a lot of structure like shades and laydowns, so I felt the importance of casting accuracy. I was using a new rod I just bought, so once I get used to the rod, this is a place I want to come back to.

Ishii:Again, I caught fish with the "O.S.P." worm I used at Lake Biwa, so next time I want to master a different lure. Orikin taught me how to throw and move the rod, so I will not forget that.

Ikemoto:I realized how important it is to choose the right lure for the right situation, but watching TK, it was also cool to see that he never lost his own style.

TK:It was a lot of fun, but the only regret I have is that I didn't catch anything.

Komatsu:It's frustrating. Let's take revenge again!
