SPRING AIR & BIG SMILE

A mellow fishing exchange between Kozue Akimoto & Friends and HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB.

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB has been active for three years. We have been playing with fish under the motto of "fun and enjoyable chill-out," but another purpose of the club is to connect with many people through fishing. So this time, I invited model Kozue Akimoto to join us with her friend! In the refreshing fresh green weather, a total of nine of us had a great time fishing for bass. --The guests from HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB had a great time catching fish! From Hui-Nam Fishing Club, our guest had a great catch!

We went to a controlled fishing area to enjoy fishing in a leisurely manner.

The destination was Angler's Park Kingfisher, a managed fishing area in Owada, Tochigi Prefecture.

It is divided into a black bass area and a trout area, and fish other than black bass and trout are released during events. For example, in the black bass area, you can catch rare species such as striped bass and American catfish, etc. There are BBQ facilities, and in summer, you can catch fish, which is fun for the whole family.

The four people who played with us this time are shown here.
