First time smelt fishing!
We participated as a family of four. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to enjoy ourselves in peace in our private tents. Although the weather was extremely bad, it wasn't cold inside the tent, and we were able to enjoy fishing at our own pace while learning tips from the staff who came to check on us frequently. We experienced drilling holes in ice, sampled local sake, and enjoyed the delicious tempura made from the smelt we caught. It was so much fun. We'll come fishing again next year!
