Changing season & winter out look

It looks to me that the river is on the seasonal change as the winter approaches. The water is getting colder and the light is getting shorter every week. There were many small bait fish jumping around in summer on my favourite flat, but the river is getting quieter now.

It is inevitable that we will soon have miserable winter rain and bone chilling wind, however, there are two good things in winter. One, all boats and jet skies will be gone, so we can keep the river to our self. Second, winter is the time when we normally hook up those big blue lip breams. So there are something I can look for the next few months, I guess.

最近はお日様が傾くのも早くなり仕事帰りに釣りが出来るのは１時間かそこら。川の水も日に日に冷たくなって、あれだけ跳ね回っていた小魚もどこかに行ってしまったようで、川はだんだん静けさをましてきています。もう冬はそこまで来ている様です。

冷たい雨や風の中でも冬の釣りには二つだけ良い事があります。一つは、騒がしいモーターボートやジェットスキーが川から居なくなる事。もう一つは、経験上、４０cmクラスの大きくて賢いクロダイに出会えるチャンスは夏よりも冬が高いと言う事。

日日是好釣日。まあ結局、冬だろうと夏だろうと、雨だろうと風だろうと暇さえあれば釣りに行くんですけどね。
