Wakasagi Smelt fishing the best season in winter

Today, Lily talking about Wakasagi Turi.

In winter season, smelt (small fish)

is going to be top season for fishing in Japan.

Mainly, we do smelt fishing at the lake.
Even if the water of lake is frozen,
we make hole and fish smelt with small tackles.

So, smelt fishing is the fighting with cold weather.
We must keep warm otherwise we catch the cold...

This is example.

But, nowadays we do not have to feel cold
when we do Smelt fishing "Wakasagi Tsuri" in Japan.

Wakasagi Boat on Yamanaka lake is the latest style
using solar electric power.
You can feel warm and fish smelt "in" the boat.

*Sorry it is in Japanese but you can see pics.

Since it is very comfortable on the boat,
small kidz and old people are enjoy wakasagi fishing.

Also wakasagi is very small, fishing rod and
reel is very small. Please check below blog
which I wrote last winter about wakasagi electric
reel like PC mouse.

Smelt is very good for Tempura (battered and deep-frie)!
I love eating Wakasagi Tempura with salt.
