River trip and paella

Last weekend, Nicolas and I went to canoeing trip to Tonegawa river close to Tokyo. There is the middle stream and gentle water, and we can enjoy paddling relax like picnic. 

We did paddling slowly, feel nature and just enjoy, never hurry up. We knew when found a beach where was nobody, it mean lunchtime.

Vegie soup with pasta

What do you have a lunch on fishing or paddling?
Mostly, I have a soup and bread especially in winter season, from late autumn to early spring.  You may say "no time for cooking during fishing/paddling". Absolutely you may cooking "dinner" need to take time, but my soup recipe is very easy and fast also tasty at lunchtime.
After fishing all midmorning, I think you should have a break and hot soup at lunch for go fishing again!
Wanna try to cooking? ;-)

Japanese "Sea" dace / Pacific redfin

Tribolodon brandtii

We call this fish to "Maruta-Woogooi" or "Maruta" and normally they live in sea. But they are entering to the river for spawning on Spring.
It's Now!

Urban "HANAMI" paddling, Tokyo 2013

We went to "Hanami" paddling in last weekend.

Do you know "Hanami" culture in Japan? It means go to viewing to Cherry-Blossom. Actually almost Japanese are going to "Hanami" around there on flower season.

Fried trout with tomato and vegitable

Wanna try?

You know, normally when I fishing just catch and release but sometime I cook trout, one or two times per year. I think it would be natural. 
If you also cook your trout, your wife would forgive you fishing again. ;)

The first trout fishing in 2013

When I was boy, I was dreaming that want to climb the rainbow. And I recommend you should learn how to fishing if you want to catch the rainbow.
