About this event
Held in Kawamoto Town, Shimane Prefecture, "Adult Excursion River Play Edition: First Sweetfish (Ayu) Fishing Experience in Gonokawa River" is an ayu sweetfish fishing experience event in the Gonokawa River aimed at adults trying fishing for the first time. Instructors will kindly teach everything from how to use the gear to river knowledge, allowing participants to join with peace of mind. It is perfectly fine if you cannot catch fish skillfully. There is no competition with anyone, nor any rush against time. You can encounter sweetfish fishing while spending relaxing time by the Gonokawa River. The fishing method uses "ayu lures," which are easy for beginners to start with. Caught sweetfish can be grilled over charcoal and tasted, and the waiting time enveloped in the aroma is also one of the pleasures. In addition, you can listen to stories about the river and sweetfish from members of the Egawa Fishery Cooperative, potentially leading to new discoveries. There are also opportunities to observe various ayu fishing techniques and get introduced to equipment, providing a starting point for those who want to continue fishing in the future. Fishing gear and life jackets are prepared by the organizer. You can also take home the sweetfish you caught.
