Make a hole in the frozen lake and set a gimmick! With just this, all you have to do is pull the thread when you eat.
Let the guide handle the troublesome drilling, feeding, and setting of gimmicks! If you learn a little trick, both beginners and children can feel free to experience it! After fishing, fry it on the spot and make it into tempura! Freshly fried hot and fresh on the spot you caught is exceptional!
☆ FUN Smelt fishing tour commitment ☆
〇Cold measures are perfect!
Is it okay if the weather is bad, I'm worried because I have small children, what kind of clothes should I wear?
If it is the first experience Hokkaido which is extremely cold, I am full of anxiety. Rest assured! !!
A guide who loves fishing has created a hut instead of a tent and is fully equipped with heating. You can take off your shoes and go fishing leisurely.
〇 To extend the fishing results. .. ..
We also perform daily reel maintenance using carefully selected tips so that the fish's atari can be easily understood. The mechanism is handmade! The hut is movable, so use a fish finder to catch a school of fish! There are holes, and the guide sets the mechanism in advance, so you can start fishing immediately after taking the course.
〇Providing exquisite tempura!
Tempura the caught smelt on the spot and sample it. It's sweet, crispy and delicious. Even if you can't catch it, we will provide you with some smelt caught by the guide in advance!
Basically, participation is from elementary school students and above, but if there are children under elementary school age, please consult with us. Many people with children are worried about the cold, but we have a tent so if you wear warm clothes, even children are OK.
Since it is on a frozen lake, let's take measures against the cold and try fishing for smelt! The interior of the hut is basically warm because it is not exposed to the wind, but at a minimum, please bring ski wear, snow boots, and ski gloves.
Please be assured. Customers who do not have a car can pick up and drop off in the Furano area and Tomamu area. Please contact us if you would like to pick up and drop off.
