The fish made powerful runs, leapt repeatedly into the air, and kept both of us on edge.

音更川で釣り
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<div id="cc-matrix-2746111384"><div id="cc-m-10649803784" class="j-module n j-text ">夕方ちょっと時間があったので、音更川に釣りに行ってきました。昨年夏に海からサクラマスが遡上できたようで今年の音更川はヤマメたくさん釣れます。釣れるサイズは10センチ前後なので、経験の長い釣り人には物足りないないかと思いますが、子供や釣り初心者におすすめです　<br/> <br/> 7月ヤマメの解禁なので、7月と8月がヤマメ釣りが楽しめます。サンダルやウエットウェーディングで膝まで浸かって暑い夏を川で過ごすのも気持ちいいです。昨年、一昨年は子供連れのファミリーフィッシングでヤマメがたくさん釣れたので　今年も楽しみです。少しだけ持って帰って自分で釣ったヤマメを唐揚げにして命を頂く。という経験も夏の子供にとってはとても大切な時間になると思います　<br/> <br/> 海からサクラマスが上る。川でヤマメが育つ。かつて川底を覆うように生息していたカワシンジュガイの復活にも期待したい。そしてイトウも海と川を行き来できるような音更川の本来の姿に戻ろうとする自然。そんな姿が思いつつ、たまに釣れる30cmほどのニジマスの引に「これがヤマメだったらなぁ」とつぶやくのでした。<br/> <br/> 8月は子供の季節。川で子供たちに釣りをさせてあげたいです。<br/> <br/> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">I had a little free time this evening, so I headed to the Otofuke River for a quick fishing trip.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">It seems that cherry salmon successfully migrated upstream from the sea last summer, and as a result, the Otofuke River is now full of young yamame (masu salmon). Most of the fish are around 10 cm long, so experienced anglers may find them a bit small, but they are perfect for children and anyone just getting started with fishing.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">The yamame season opens in July, making July and August the best months to enjoy fishing for them. Wearing sandals or wet-wading up to your knees is a wonderful way to spend a hot summer day in the river. Last year and the year before, families with children caught plenty of yamame, so I’m looking forward to another great summer.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">Taking home just a few fish and cooking the yamame you caught yourself as crispy fried fish is a valuable experience. Learning to appreciate the life that provides our food is something I believe is especially meaningful for children.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">Cherry salmon return from the sea, and young yamame grow in the river. I also hope to see the return of the freshwater pearl mussel, which once covered the riverbed in great numbers. And perhaps one day, even Sakhalin taimen will once again be able to move freely between the sea and the river. Watching the Otofuke River gradually recover its natural character fills me with hope.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">Still, whenever a feisty 30 cm rainbow trout bends my rod, I can’t help but quietly think, “I wish this were a yamame.”</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="font-kerning: none;">August belongs to the children.

As part of the school animal committee, I helped care for the chickens and bantams kept at school. When I was nine years old, I even brought eggs home and tried to hatch them myself using electric heat. Of course, it failed, and I still vividly remember the terrible smell when the rotten eggs exploded. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> My mother, trying somehow to calm my obsession with hatching chicken eggs, even took me to the keeper’s room at <span class="s1">Ueno Zoo</span>. Looking back, she was pretty special too. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> There are many reasons why I keep chickens. One is, of course, for eggs. They also provide fertilizer and help compost leftover vegetables and kitchen scraps. And one of the things I especially look forward to is… yakitori.<br/> Well, not really. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> What I actually enjoy is the materials. For dry-fly tying, having live roosters means I can occasionally and respectfully collect exactly the feathers I need, in just the right amount. That is also part of the joy of chicken life. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p2"> That said, the roosters start crowing at three in the morning. So to any guests staying here — please, no complaints. Haha. </p></div><div id="cc-m-10643493884" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img

Observation must always be done carefully and from a respectful distance, but when you watch them every day, they eventually become completely unconcerned about people nearby. Even at a distance of only about five meters, they busily carry nesting material back and forth, then fly off again to search for more. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> The outer structure of the nest is made from moss, lichens, and strips of bark woven together like a mosaic, forming a dome-shaped, oval nest about the size of a softball. Instead of thread, they use silk from cocoons and spider webs to bind everything together. Watching them skillfully construct such a delicate nest using only their tiny beaks is so beautiful and charming that I could watch them for hours. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> After about two weeks, once the outer shell is complete, they begin lining the inside with soft, insulating materials such as feathers and the silky fibers of plants like <span class="s2"><i>ikema</i></span> and <span class="s2"><i>gagaimo</i></span>. In this way, the nest is finally completed. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> Who taught them such wisdom and techniques? Where did they learn these skills? When you closely observe wild animals, their instincts and behaviors are truly astonishing. They are the wisdom of survival — the miracle of having endured and survived until today. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> And surrounding the <span class="s1">Long-tailed Tit</span> is an entire environment and ecosystem. The bark they need, the lichens, mosses, moths, and spiders — all of these are important connections within the ecosystem that support their lives. That is why, although people often focus attention on only a single species, it is important to value and carefully observe all of nature as a whole. When you do, you begin to discover fascinating things from entirely different perspectives, and those discoveries lead to understanding, accuracy, and reproducibility. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p2"> Even so, nature still surprises and betrays our expectations. And that is exactly why it remains endlessly fascinating and never becomes boring. </p></div><div id="cc-m-10643486884" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper

福寿草は、まだ氷点下のなかでも花を開く。朝晩の気温が低いときは花を閉じて、午前中の気温の上昇とともに蕾をひらき、パラボナアンテナのように太陽を取り込んで、花粉を成熟させるのだそう。こんな知恵をだれが授けたのか、そして生き抜く戦略がこの秘密にあるのだろう。面白いもの。Even in below-freezing temperatures, Adonis flowers can still bloom. When the morning and evening temperatures are low, they close their petals, then open their buds as the temperature rises during the day. Like a parabolic antenna, they capture the sun’s warmth to mature their pollen. Who could have given them such wisdom? Perhaps the secret to their survival lies in this very strategy.

hoping to capture images of them against the fall foliage. By November, as the leaves have fallen and the forest takes on its winter appearance, the real season of observation and guiding begins. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> Then comes January, the depth of winter, when the squirrels live closely together, enjoying their soft, fluffy lives in the snow. As February arrives and the light grows stronger and temperatures begin to rise, the squirrels start to disperse from their shared burrows, and their activity shifts to the darker hours of morning and evening. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> The end of winter always brings a quiet sense of loneliness and reluctance to let go. And yet, just at the very end, there is one final surge of excitement—their estrus and mating. This is the true climax of the season, and with it, I feel that winter has been fully lived through. </p></div><div id="cc-m-10629641584" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img srcset="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=320x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 320w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=640x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 640w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=668x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 668w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=960x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 960w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1280x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 1280w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1336x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg 1336w" sizes="(min-width: 668px) 668px, 100vw" id="cc-m-imagesubtitle-image-10629641584" src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=668x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg" alt="" class="" data-src-width="8256" data-src-height="5504" data-src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=668x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i772f6a80dca84978/version/1773747179/image.jpg" data-image-id="7370068184"/> </figure> <div class="cc-clear"></div> <script id="cc-m-reg-10629641584">// </script></div><div id="cc-m-10629662684" class="j-module n j-text "><p> 終わる季節と始まる季節。また新しい季節が駆け足でやってくる、冬に遅れを取らないように、毎日の変化を観察し続けた冬。そして、エゾモモンガから解放されるような春の訪れ。まだ時差ぼけのように、夜明け前に目が覚めてしまう。名残惜しい季節がまた気持ちがいい。he ending season and the beginning of another.

No matter how many photos you take or how many times you try, it never becomes boring.There are many wonderful moments to capture: the instant a squirrel peeks out from its tree burrow, the sight of it balancing on a thin branch while eating, several squirrels lined up together on a branch, and many charming behaviors. And of course, there is the spectacular moment when they glide through the forest. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> When the performance of the camera, the photographer’s luck, and the right natural conditions all come together, you may be able to take home a truly special photograph. </p> <p class="p1">   </p></div><div id="cc-m-10628946084" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure

Before sunrise, I went out to meet the Ezo flying squirrels. A huge full moon was sitting low on the western horizon, and I wondered if I might be able to photograph the moon together with the squirrels, so I headed toward their burrow. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> In the darkness, I could see two or three squirrels darting around among the trees. As usual, they perched on their favorite branches, quietly holding alder buds in their mouths and eating. Then I thought, <i>Where did the moon go?</i>—it had slipped behind the clouds. Things rarely go exactly as planned. By about fifteen minutes before sunrise, maybe six squirrels had returned to the burrow. This year again, my days will be filled with morning and evening visits to see the Ezo flying squirrels. </p> <p class="p4">   </p> <hr/> <p>   </p> <p class="p3"> Last year, in April, I traveled to Australia for fishing. Together with friends living in Brisbane, we towed a boat and went fishing. In dam lakes, we caught saratoga, a type of arowana, and in the ocean we caught trevally and bonito. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> In September, I went to Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku, aiming for large ayu (sweetfish) and akame. The ayu reached up to 28 cm, and I was deeply captivated by the power and excitement of authentic ayu fishing. Using the ayu we caught as bait, I managed to catch an akame over 80 cm long. </p> <p class="p4">   </p> <hr/> <p>   </p> <p class="p3"> My third-grade son, said he wanted to go fishing from a boat at sea. So I asked a friend in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu, and the two of us took a three-day trip together. It was my first time visiting Kyushu, and everything felt fresh and new. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> Despite early mornings and the rocking of the boat, my son never complained. On the first day, he caught isaki and black sea bream, filling a large cooler box. On the second day, he caught horse mackerel, used them as bait, and landed a big yellowtail. It was his first serious battle with a powerful ocean fish, and it was a magnificent catch. That fish became sashimi and sushi for our New Year’s celebration, shared with our relatives. It was surely a precious experience for him. </p> <p class="p4">   </p> <hr/> <p>   </p> <p class="p3"> This year, starting January 22, I will travel alone to Australia for fishing. Through a tourism promotion initiative led by Hokkaido—an Adventure Travel training program—I will be able to make this fishing trip using public funding, officially as a form of “serious work.” </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> The destination is Exmouth, in Western Australia. What kind of nature, fishing, and people will I encounter? It will be my first solo trip in a long time. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> In September, I plan to return to Shikoku to challenge ayu and akame once again. And now my son says he wants to try night fishing next. </p> <p class="p4">   </p> <hr/> <p>   </p> <p class="p3"> Time passes quickly. If I don’t live each day with care, I feel like I’ll grow old in no time. With that in mind, I simply do what I can, one day at a time. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> And now—this might sound like an advertisement. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> Yesterday—January 2—I published a book. </p> <p class="p3"> It is a photo book documenting my observations of a white Ezo flying squirrel. With the help of fellow guides and illustrator friends, we were able to bring it into the world. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> In November 2024, I happened to find a white flying squirrel near my home. Unlike ordinary Ezo flying squirrels, its fur was completely white. I have been observing Ezo flying squirrels for over 20 years, but this was the first time I had ever encountered a white one. By chance, it was located only about ten minutes from my house, and it became the theme of my winter. I visited the site every morning and evening. Some lucky guests were also able to see the white flying squirrel. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> I continued visiting the burrow daily and was able to observe it from November 2024 through March 2025. Then, when I returned to the burrow in October 2025… </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p3"> What happened to this white flying squirrel afterward—the conclusion is revealed in the book. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> <span class="s2">For more details, please search for </span><b>“White Flying Squirrel Hokkaido”</b><span class="s2"> or </span><b>“北海道で出会った白いエゾモモンガ.”</b> </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> <b>this is the Link  Amazon Kindle ,,, </b> </p> <p style="font-width: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal;"> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0GDGJKR5V/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&crid=33B3L207D38LW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mm3347RSm10mRSO7LY8Wyg.vXMiGlTjM7lnTGURwZeNTYYJ0yMDTwRTxbIDoIf9hP8&dib_tag=se&keywords=%E7%99%BD%E3%81%84%E3%82%A8%E3%82%BE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC&qid=1767396143&s=digital-text&sprefix=%E7%99%BD%E3%81%84%E3%82%A8%E3%82%BE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%252Cdigital-text%252C234&sr=1-1" target="_top" style="transition-property: all;">https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0GDGJKR5V/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&crid=33B3L207D38LW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mm3347RSm10mRSO7LY8Wyg.vXMiGlTjM7lnTGURwZeNTYYJ0yMDTwRTxbIDoIf9hP8&dib_tag=se&keywords=白いエゾモモンガ&qid=1767396143&s=digital-text&sprefix=白いエゾモモンガ%2Cdigital-text%2C234&sr=1-1</a> </p> <p>   </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> This book is available only as an e-book (Kindle edition).

The moon that usually looks so far away suddenly felt close enough to touch when viewed through the lens. It’s far away, yet surprisingly close.

The sound of fallen leaves feels fresh, and the forest, gradually slipping toward winter, is incredibly pleasant.</b> </p></div><div id="cc-m-10602448284" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img srcset="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=320x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 320w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=640x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 640w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 764w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=960x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 960w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1280x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 1280w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1528x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg 1528w" sizes="(min-width: 764px) 764px, 100vw" id="cc-m-imagesubtitle-image-10602448284" src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg" alt="" class="" data-src-width="3091" data-src-height="4121" data-src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i26c613796da2311f/version/1764975091/image.jpg" data-image-id="7352486084"/> </figure> <div class="cc-clear"></div> <script id="cc-m-reg-10602448284">// </script></div><div id="cc-m-10602451684" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img srcset="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=320x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 320w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=640x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 640w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 764w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=960x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 960w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1280x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 1280w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1528x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg 1528w" sizes="(min-width: 764px) 764px, 100vw" id="cc-m-imagesubtitle-image-10602451684" src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg" alt="" class="" data-src-width="3888" data-src-height="5184" data-src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i101173e80f99f69a/version/1764975379/image.jpg" data-image-id="7352487684"/> </figure> <div class="cc-clear"></div> <script id="cc-m-reg-10602451684">// </script></div><div id="cc-m-10602451784" class="j-module n j-text "><p> 11月のエゾモモンガは、秋の活動パターンと冬の活動パターンが交差するような季節。なので、変化や移動が多く、巣穴の周りに糞や食跡の痕跡も残りにくい。なので、毎日モモンガのフィールドに通っても毎日違う。変化に気づかないと、なかなかうまくいかないのが11月。いい場所があったと思っても悪くなったり、イマイチだった場所がよくなるということが11月には繰り返させる。ある意味11月は難しい。それでも、1匹づつ、丁寧にモモンガに挨拶するように写真を撮ると秋らしい顔を見せてくれる。 </p> <p>   </p> <p class="p1"> <b>In November, the Ezo flying squirrels are in a season where their autumn activity patterns begin to overlap with their winter patterns.

11月の楽しみにとして、ナキウサギにも会いに行ける。針葉樹林の中を抜けて、岩場を目指し、ナキウサギを待っている時間というのはとても豊だと思う。爽やかなトドマツの香りや時々クマゲラの鳴く声。自然の音しかしない世界で待っているのがとても気持ちがいい。ときどき「ピシッ」とナキウサギの声がここえると、石の上にポツンとたたずんでいる。ナキウサギも特殊な環境に特化して生きてきた、貴重で可愛らしい動物。ナキウサギのフィールドではエゾライチョウにもよく遭遇する。声を聞いて姿をみつけることが多い。 </p> <p>   </p> <p> <b>One of the pleasures of November is that you can also go to see the pika. Passing through the coniferous forest and heading toward the rocky area, the time spent waiting for a pika to appear feels incredibly rich. The refreshing scent of Sakhalin fir, the occasional call of the black woodpecker—waiting in a world filled only with the sounds of nature is deeply pleasant.</b><b>Sometimes you hear a sharp “pik!”

今年のイトウ釣りのチャレンジャーは、２組。5、6年前に来たときはまだルアーアングラーだったかご夫婦。いつの間にか、ダブルハンドを振ってイトウを狙う。2日間のガイドで、天気も穏やかな日に恵まれた。「アメマスが5匹釣れたら、イトウが1匹釣れる感じです」と説明していたら、旦那がアメマスを3匹釣ったらイトウを釣った。そして奥様はアメマスを4匹釣ったらイトウと釣った。なかなかおみごと。何もない、シーンとしたモノトーンの世界で沈めて引っ張るブラインドのイトウ釣りだけど、イトウという魚の魅了というのは、不思議なもの。寒いのに、釣れないのに、でも11月の最後の最後にイトウに出会いたい。体の芯から震えるようなアドレナリンはこの時期のこの魚が絶好調な気がする。１週間前に仕留めたエゾシカの肉でシャーシュー麺を作った。これで体があったまった。３人とも、イトウが釣れてよかったよかった。そして、ガイド終わったら風邪ひいた。 </p> <p>   </p> <p class="p1"> This year, we had two challenger groups for the taimen (Itou) fishing. The couple who came 5 or 6 years ago—back then they were still lure anglers—are now casting double-hand rods to target Itou. During their two days of guided fishing, the weather was calm and kind. I explained to them, “Roughly speaking, if you catch five Dolly Varden, you can expect one Itou.” Sure enough, when the husband caught three Dollies, he hooked an Itou. And when the wife caught four Dollies, she caught an Itou as well. Pretty impressive. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> Blind-fishing for Itou—sinking the line and stripping it back—in a silent, monochrome world where nothing seems to happen… yet the charm of this fish is something mysterious. It’s cold, the fishing is tough, and still, at the very end of November, you want to encounter an Itou. The kind of adrenaline that makes your whole body tremble feels like it reaches its peak with this fish at this time of year. </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> A week ago, I harvested an Ezo deer and made chashu-style ramen with the meat. That warmed me right up. </p></div><div id="cc-m-10602473584" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img

11月の自然もあっという間に、通り過ぎた。少しのタイミングだったけど、いろんな景色に出会うことができた。ガイドは12月から本格的に冬のシーズンを迎え、エゾモモンガたちも冬の暮らしが始まる。今年は、ハンノキの尾花が豊作という楽しみな季節。モモンガたちと仲間たち。どんな自然に出会うことができるか、リサーチを怠らず、お客さんの背中をみながら全力でサポートさせていただきます。この冬に遊びに来てくれるゲストの方々の幸運に期待して、どんな冬に出会えるか楽しみにお待ちしております。 </p> <p>   </p> <p> 私のガイドは、まだ少し空きがあるので、このホームページに貼り付けてあるグールグカレンダーで確認することができます。釣りのガイドでは、5、6、7月は予約が埋まるのが早いですが、8、9月も面白いです。エゾモモンガの観察も２０２７年の11月はまだ空きがたくさんあるので、11月の自然もおすすめです。ぜひ次の予定を今から考えてみては、いかが？ </p> <p>

November’s nature passed by in the blink of an eye. It was only a brief window, but I was able to witness many different landscapes. From December, guiding fully enters the winter season, and the Ezo flying squirrels begin their winter way of life as well. This year brings the exciting prospect of an abundant crop of alder catkins. The flying squirrels and their forest companions—what kind of nature will we encounter together? </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p2">   </p> <p class="p1"> I’ll keep up my research and support each guest with everything I have, always watching their pace and needs. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of winter awaits us, and wishing the best of luck to all the guests who will visit this season. </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> There are still a few openings left in my guiding schedule, and you can check availability on the Google Calendar posted on this website. For fishing trips, June, July, and May tend to fill up quickly, but August and September are exciting months as well. There are also plenty of openings for Ezo flying squirrel observation in November 2027, so I highly recommend experiencing November’s nature. How about starting to think about your next trip now? </p> <p class="p1">   </p> <p class="p1"> Here is the availability for my guiding schedule: </p> <p class="p1"> <a href="https://www.lodgeluckyfield.com/google-calendar/" style="transition-property: all;">https://www.lodgeluckyfield.com/google-calendar/</a> </p> <p class="p1">   </p></div><div id="cc-m-10602475184" class="j-module n j-imageSubtitle "><figure class="cc-imagewrapper cc-m-image-align-1 cc-m-width-maxed"> <img srcset="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=320x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 320w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=640x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 640w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 764w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=960x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 960w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1280x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 1280w, https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/none/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg 1499w" sizes="(min-width: 764px) 764px, 100vw" id="cc-m-imagesubtitle-image-10602475184" src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg" alt="" class="" data-src-width="1499" data-src-height="1998" data-src="https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=764x10000:format=jpg/path/s3cdb2e9dbcc7c5be/image/i9c7a9762d58171c0/version/1764981145/image.jpg" data-image-id="7352495384"/> </figure> <div class="cc-clear"></div> <script id="cc-m-reg-10602475184">// </script></div></div> |
