HEY FOLKS! You may have noticed we’ve been a little quiet! 🤫

Couple of reasons for this…

1) You may have seen on the old story that I got engaged! 🤣 top tip for any blokes out there, do not trust an 18 month old Labrador to be involved in the proposal - WILL NOT GO AS PLANNED!

2) Our guiding season has well and truly finished for the season and albeit we could guide you lovely people at this time of year…we’d rather hold fire until the fishing heats up and to ensure we can provide the best experience possible! As I have told you folks many times, our priority is guest experience and not making a few Yen’s!!

HOWEVER, we will be back sooner than planned, with opportunities available to head out targeting Amemasu from January time!! 🐟

Please note:

1) Bookings are made one week in advance. The weather is unpredictable and if we see big weather fronts coming in - we won’t head out for the sake of it! But if we have a break in the weather we will do EVERYTHING WE CAN!

2) These trips are sadly not for beginners 😔 Amemasu fishing in freezing conditions can be incredibly tough and is suitable for fishers who have experience in tough fishing and tough fishing conditions!!

If you’re in Niseko for the ski season and know your way round a lure rod then get in touch - I can give you the low down and we can do our best to plan something during your stay! ❄️

THANKS FOR AN AMAZING 2025 it’s been a blast and roll on 2026!! 🥳🥳

A beautiful day chasing Amemasu off the Hokkaido coast! 🌊

The variety you find on this island never fails to amaze! 🇯🇵

Also nice to grab the lure rod for a change! All fishing is good fishing in my opinion! 🤟 🎣 #japanfishing #hokkaidofishing #lurefishing #seafishing #fishingdog

Hokkaido’s diversity in Salmonid’s has to be up there with any fly fishing destination around the world! So many types of trout, salmon and char to catch and enjoy!! 😉 #flyfishing #flyfishinghokkaido #flyfisingjapan #hokkaidofishing #troutfishing

Freezing cold November day, rain and snow pouring down and thanks to a @_nickhill_ streamer we hook one of the most beautiful male Brown Trout we’ve had this year! 🎣

WHAT A FISH! 🐟

BIG RAINBOWS LIVE IN HOKKAIDO! 🌈

Did you know that Hokkaido is home to some monster rainbows, keen to be caught fly fishing or lure fishing? 🎣

This one fell to a classic egg fly! 🟠

I don’t typically fish egg flies, but late in the year when the salmon have spawned it’s the only thing to do!

#flyfishinghokkaido #hokkaidofishing #flyfishing #fishing #flyfishingjapan #flyfishingnation #flyfishinglife

Simba is not a fan of catch and release, so he took matters into his own hands, or paws 👀 #fishing #flyfishing #fishingdog #flyfishingdog #fishingdogs #catchandrelease

The snow is falling but you can still dig out a few nice fish! 🐟 Brown trout can be tempted even in cold conditions! This was actually the smallest of the day with two monsters caught after my phone died in the cold 😂

Well this wasn’t part of the plan! 😅

Won’t list my tackle as let’s be honest who gives a crap, but I will say a big thank you too @nikt_men2510 for some unbelievable netting and @shin_niwa for cracking the camera out! WHAT A FISH! 🐟 fly fishing in Hokkaido never fails to surprise! 😮

OUR FISHING GUIDING SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR! 🤟

I just wanted to say a very special thank you to all our guests, partners and friends who have been involved with @japanesefishingadventures in 2025!

This has been one of the most challenging yet memorable and enjoyable years of my life with lots of ups and downs but looking back I can only say it’s been a complete and utter success 🥳

We will be back up and running in April & 2026 is looking like it’s going to be BIGGER & BETTER than ever with some VERY exciting plans for the new year! 👊

Stay tuned for some big news and big moments rolling into your news feed!! 👌

HOWEVER, if you are hardcore enough to fish in the Hokkaido winter, let me know 😉 I am sure we can make something work!!

The weather is changing here in Hokkaido, but battling the elements and still hitting on a few fish hits a little different! 🙌

“I’m surprised there are any wild fish left in Asia” 👀⬇️

I get this comment far too frequently - admittedly there’s probably some truth to an extent but safe to say here in Hokkaido there’s plenty of wild fish and trout to be specific!

It’s more ironic because so many rivers around the world are full of stocked fish! 😅

BUT HEY! We are here to educate and show the world how amazing Hokkaido & Japan is! 🇯🇵

#troutfishing #flyfishingjapan #japanflyfishing #flyfishinghokkaido #hokkaidofishing #japantrout #wildfishing #fishing #trout

That’s a 6wt BTW! 😮

Blue skies all around and a 60cm Rainbow on the line - what more could you ask for? ✌️#flyfishing #flyfishingjapan #flyfishinghokkaido #hokkaidofishing #japanflyfishing

5 REASONS TO GO FLY FISHING IN HOKKAIDO IN 2026! 🪰 🎣

1) MONSTER FISH! There really is some monsters here in Hokkaido and you’ll be surprised what you can catch both on streamers and on dry flies! 😮

2) SO MUCH DIVERSITY! There’s not many places you can catch over 5 Salmonid species all in close proximity! For all the species hunters out there, Hokkaido fits the bill!

3) BREATHTAKING & VARIED SCENERY! Each area of the island has a completely different feel! From crystal clear limestone rivers to marshlands you can explore so many different areas and feel in a completely different location!

4) UNREAL FOOD! Obviously Hokkaido is home to some of the best food Japan has to offer! Whether it’s soup curry or sushi there’s something for everyone 🍣

5) HEATED TOILET SEATS! ENOUGH SAID! 😅

Love and miss you all so much 🥳

It was also Simba’s first holiday - I think he enjoyed it 🤣

Only fishing can bring those big beaming smiles - any fish is a win but grin is extra cheesy when it’s a beauty like this! #flyfishing #trout #troutfishing #rainbowtrout #troutfishing

Great few days fly fishing guiding Emily & Matt from Alaska! 🇺🇸

Probably the hardest few days guiding we’ve had all year! Big drop in temperature, snow, sleet & rain but we still managed a few fish! 🎣

Sadly a big Brown didn’t show its face, but we still had great fun on the Amemasu & Rainbows! 🌈

Fall fishing is the one and well worth enjoying here in Hokkaido! Plan your 2026 trip with us and have a memorable fishing trip!!

Those big Male Rainbows 👅 #rainbowtrout #trout #troutfishing #troutofinsta #troutbum #flyfishing #troutflyfishing

These blue Rainbow Trout are so CRAZY! 😀 #rainbowtrout #lake #hokkaido #hokkaidofishing #japanfishing #trout #troutfishing #rainbowtroutfishing

The Hokkaido you think you know vs The Hokkaido you NEED to know! 😜

Too many Hokkaido is the land of POW! Heaps of snow and crazy skiing and snowboarding! 🏂

Technically the above is true, but it’s also a trout fisherman’s paradise! Crystal clear rivers, an abundance of fly life, unbelievable nature, great weather and of course AMAZING FISHING! 😉

Fishing in Hokkaido has to be on every anglers bingo card this 2026! 🎣

AUTUMN HOKKAIDO TOUR 🍂 ✅

Great few days exploring Hokkaido from West to East with @hamph7 !

Hampton signed up to one of our Hokkaido wide tours to experience all things fishing on this magical island!

A jam packed trip with plenty of fish caught (we lost count!) and plenty of memories made! 🐟

We focused mainly on freshwater, catching Amemasu, Browns, Rainbows, Yamame, Ito & Ugui, before a late evening session off the coast for Rockfish! 🎣

What made this tour that bit special was the mixture of lure fishing & fly fishing which really allowed us to target SO MANY species! 🤟

Fancy something like this in 2026? GET IN TOUCH! ✌️

Check out the trout fishing fun we’ve had here in Hokkaido Japan this Autumn! ✌️

Big thank you to everyone who fished with us in September and hope you enjoyed every minute ❤️
Nothing beats Autumn fly fishing for big trout! 🐟

Trout look great out of water…but they sure as HELL look better under the water where they belong! 👌

The Autumn storms have been fun, but in the breaks in the weather the dry fly fishing has been BANG ON! 🍂 #autumnfishing #flyfishing #dryfly #flyfishinghokkaido #hokkaidofishing #flyfishingnation #flyfish

Autumn dry fly fishing coming alive! Hokkaido in the Autumn months is truly special! #autumnfishing #dryfly #hokkaido #flyfishing #flyfishinghokkaido #flyfishinglife #flyfishingnation #flyfish #

One of nature’s greatest gifts! In the autumn months in the tiny mountain streams you will find the beautiful Sakura Masu pairing up and spawning! 🌸

When I see Salmon running the rivers or in spawning formations like this, I always get blown away! 🤯

The journey these guys take to come back to where it all begun really is one of natures great miracles! ✨

PLEASE NOTE: fishing for salmon in rivers here in Japan is ILLEGAL and the penalty can be a fine or a prison sentence! If you are here on holiday do not be tempted and leave these legends in peace to populate for future generations! ❌

Mountain stream fishing in Hokkaido is something special! Crystal clear rivers, unbelievable scenery and beautiful mountains! - What more could you ask for? ⛰️ 🎣 #mountainstreamfishing #mountainstream #japanmountain #flyfishing #dryfly #rainbowtrout #flyfishinghokkaido #hokkaidofishing

If I could catch only one fish for the rest of my life…. 🎣

Brown Trout has to be my choice! 🐟

Every fish you catch is different, whether it’s the size the colour, the spots and the markings no Brown Trout is the same, making every fish that extra special! 🌟

Whether it’s big or small we love them all and here in Hokkaido they are extra special! Although they are technically invasive I think they make a great addition to the rivers! I would say that though, I’m British!! 🇬🇧

AND

Before people start throwing shade, over the fact they kill native species… Yes they are ravenous predators, but require specific conditions to thrive and survive! Browns aren’t everywhere in Hokkaido and only in select lakes and rivers where conditions favour them! Feel free to ask me for more info if you have any questions!! ✌️

When the rain is falling and the rivers turning brown - there’s only one thing to do - STREAMER FISHING! #streamerfishing #browntrout #fishing #flyfishing #streamers #river #browntroutflyfishing

The slingshot approach 👌 great for getting into tight spaces on the river and so COOL! #fishing #slingshot #lurefishing #riverfishing #hokkaidofishing

Our new CEO wanted to show you what’s been going on fishing wise in the last few weeks here in Hokkaido!🤓

In short - August has been hard, but we’ve still managed a few fish and some great times too!! 🎣

As we move into September the conditions look perfect! 😮 #fishing #troutfishing #hokkaidofishing #flyfishinghokkaido #flyfishing #troutflyfishing #troutbum #japanfishing #fishingjapan
