Niru-san happy to see you were able to finally get fish. The smelt look good. And the hot springs look like fun..

Thank you

I immediately made fried smelt. It's so tasty.

Niru-san smelt is one of my favorite fish to eat. In the spring we catch smelt but we use them for bait to catch lake trout..

I see, smelt is very popular here. Usually trout fishing season is from April to September. So we can't fish that in ice fishing season except in some areas.

Niru san:
How do you transport all of your ice fishing gear? I have all I can fit, and I am sure my vehicle is larger than yours!

There are lots of hot spring inns and hotels. Hot springs are strong acidic sulfur springs.

>hunts2long-san, filetandrelease-san, Seamonkey84-san

Thank you

. I gonna go to other lake next weekend, and post new pic.

>badger132-san

This lake is so small, so I carried the tools on foot.　In home lake, I carried these by snowmobile, but the lake may not freeze for record warm winter.

>Icephishwyo-san

Thank you

Cool pic! I also like to see ice fishing Pic of other countries.

Great pictures Niru-san, Very glad to see you posting ice fishing adventures from the other side of the world again. We've run into the same troubles as you have with warm weather and limited safe ice. Be safe out there.

Very cool

niru_04 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 06:28 AM »

>800stealth-san,vancouvercanuck-san

Thank you

. Due to the record warm winter, the usual lake is unlikely to freeze.
I will go to a distant lake on Saturday. I can't use a snowmobile, so I attach a harness and should pull my luggage like a horse. lol

Niru_04 San nice to see how icefishing is done in other parts of the world. Thanks for the pictures.

Niru-san, need to make a smitty sled, so much easier to lug your gear around.

niru_04 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 25, 2020, 05:50 AM »

>matt12-san, meandcuznalfy-san

Thank you

. That sled is also interesting.

I went to Akagi Lake where is on the top of mountain about 1300m. There are two ice fishing cultures in Japan. Our one is using common shelters, other one is using snail type pop-up shelters like here.

800stealth · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 25, 2020, 08:41 AM »

Wow, looks like a popular spot Niru-San. Great pics, this was my view early this morning as I walked out.
