A sunny Saturday afternoon, we tried bread chumming carp on fly at Tusrumi river in Yokohama.
It's easy when we have real bread, chumming and fish up then take it. All we have to do is drift
the fake, bread fly naturally. There's many fish and we got a couple of nice carp.

Due to heavy snow, all highway was closed and we heard it would be open in the afternoon.
Nothing to do except fishing so we decided to fish Tilapia in the small irrigation canal, guided
by a local flyfisher. Tilapia is well known African fish and now widely farmed for food recourses.
In Japan this fish was imported after the World War ­¶and spread out mainly south part of Japan,
like Kochi which is so called the Southern country in Japan!!

After the breakfast, we bought a pack of toast for chum and started fishing right next to high
school and road. In shallow water we could see many fish but very sensitive like big trout in the
river. When we walked close to the water they moved away or swam into deep place. Chumming
over 30 minutes, finally some fish started to eat small bits of toast, still spooky. Luckily I got
two baby fish, but it's quite difficult.



Highway was still closed and we had to drive really long way to Kobe along the coast, 7 hours drive.
When I backed to Yokohama, it was also snow.

Special thanks to Mr. Goblin, maybe we should try in June or July again.

A fine Autumn Sunday afternoon, I was my favourite spot near my home, carrying two slices of
toast with me which was not toasted. The river Tsurumi, just 15 minutes drive from my home
and there's so many mullet and carp. When I arrived at the spot I found a fly fisher at the other
side, it's very strange, for years I have never ever seen any fly fisher here. Now this spot became
very popular for fly fisher? Same as spring and winter, so many small mullet and carp. First I tried
to fish for mullet but it was quite difficult as fish are too small? Drifting fly a little deeper for carp,
a couple of minutes later I landed a first fish, strong 24 inch fish. Indicator system did work well
and landed one more fish that was almost same size. Fish came up to surface to take drifting chum
(toast), just like trout and I tied floating bread fly. It did work and I landed this very colourful fish.
