Back from a trip to Seoul visiting my parents.
This time I even managed to fish a few hours!
It started in Tokyo meeting my friends Hiro and Yuji. Obviously a visit to Tsuruya is mandatory.
Seeing mount Fuji is pretty special. And I got to fish two hours on a spring creek nearby.
Some amazing tasting sushi!

Lets go into the country side!

In Seoul there are several fly shops. Rainbow Outfitters owned by Jonathan Choe is the one that was mentioned by many. The owner Jonathan (olive t-shirt), having worked in California in the tech industry, speaks fluent English making communicating so easy!
In the course of two visits, I've met several of his customers. And they all invited me to have lunch. It's amazing how fly fishing bonds people like they have been friends for ages.
The last week of the trip I managed to go a day fishing for the native Cherry Salmon (in Japan it's called Yamame) and Lenok. What an experience.
