Another magnificent autumn day today here in Hakuba, Japan. Early bird season ski pass purchased for Hakuba47 . Last day tomorrow for the special deal so if you want one you better get in quick. Looking into the river around the Hakuba47 resort I was able to fish with my bare hands. A nice little trout snatched from it’s pool. Catch and release today. I have heard of others doing similar but I must say I was a little sceptical until now.  There is some great fishing in the area and we are also only 50 minutes from the Japan Sea.
