Fly fishing and hip-hop are similar.
Upon arriving at the next spot, Jerry gets down to business.
Jerry Cormorant: I usually fish rivers in the mountains, so this time will be a different approach. The characteristics of fish change depending on the location, so I will do my best to fish while exploring them!
Jerry says he usually looks at maps of the mountains to find the best spots for fishing. He says, "It's fun to figure out how far you can get in by car and what route you need to take to get to the spot you want to fish. It's fun to think about that," he says.
Jerry Cormorant: After all, fly fishing is totally different from other types of fishing. It is not very efficient. There are many things you have to do to catch fish, and if you want to catch a lot of fish, you can just stick worms on the end of the hook, but that is not the case. I want to fish with a fly. It's not so much that I want to catch fish, but I want to be good at fly fishing.
Fly fishing is a form of fishing that takes advantage of the characteristics of fish that prey on aquatic insects on the surface of a river. A "fly = hair hook" disguised as those insects The fish are caught by casting the hooks downstream. So, what kind of food do the fish living there usually eat? While thinking about this, it is important to look around the surrounding environment and observe what kind of plants grow and what kind of insects live there.
Jerry Cormorant: Fly fishing is similar to hip-hop. Hip-hop includes rap, dance, graffiti, and many other elements. Fly fishing is the same, you have to be good at tying and casting, and you have to know the fish and the environment. That's why it's interesting.
After learning these elements of fly fishing, Ryuka seems to understand how to do it. We put the necessary flies on the line and start fishing.
Ryuka: It is still difficult to throw a fly well. You have to think about where the fish are and what kind of current the river is running. I cast the fly while keeping in mind where the fish are and the current of the river, but it's frustrating when I can't cast it where I want.
Ryuka is struggling for the first time. Still, she continues to swing her rod without losing heart.
Ryuka: It is the same in the ocean; you have to change your approach according to the fish. However, fly fishing is more delicate and requires more thought, so I am sure the joy of catching a fish is even greater.
