Videos of Dr Ishigaki lake and river fishing in Hokkaido

In these videos Dr Ishigaki is seen lake fishing and fishing on the Akan River in Hokkaido, near the Takimi Bridge. Google those two places, a beautiful area.

He was clearly expecting to catch bigger fish during this trip. Because he carried a bigger tamo net. What I found most interesting, and educational about these videos was seeing how he played big fish. Often in fast water. How he handled the rod, used space to back away from the stream when possible, and how he hand-lined the fish into the net. As the great Yogi Berra once said, "You can see a lot by just watching."

These are not on stream teaching classes. Just Dr Ishigaki fishing. Most of the time alone.

I thought Dr Ishigaki was going to go "A River Runs Through It" at about the 3 minute mark, but he only went into the water up to his shirt collar. For a moment I thought all I would see was a floating hat. ; -)

There some other good fishing videos uploaded on the amagochan6332 YouTube channel. Most of the above videos were uploaded 4 months ago.

Speaking of fishing tactics. I think the In Focus Insider: Manipulation video from Discover Tenkara is very good. Well worth the few bucks purchase price. Many tenkara fishing methods are clearly demonstrated, with tips on how to do the technique correctly , and close ups of hand position or the kebari on the water when needed. There is also an accompanying eBook.
