Hand over the joy of fishing to friends:

Recently, I started to share the joy of fly fishing to my friend and his son because this hobby of mine is just too fun to keep all to myself. And I remember I got introduced this from one of my friends also. Recently, I took them to catch some lenok in the creek and that was our second trip out. The first trip was past winter and it was just too cold for beginners to understand standing in the cold water freeze to death and we ended up driving around country side just eating and talking although eating fresh vegetarian dish from county side is also one of excitement of Korean fly fishing. Tying hook to the tippet, connecting tippet to leader, and connecting leader to the line, there are many things to learn in order to be self sufficient. Especially, for the people who never experienced fishing in the past, it is just all too hard to grasp all that in a short period. This trip was good although both of them couldn’t hook any, but almost caught a few. I am sure it is all matter of time.

  5. I don’t know exactly which creek, so it is hard to tell. Normally, taebeak is good for cherry trout. Until end of Feb next year, cherry trout is spawning period. I would recommend you to check out either Jindong creek or Narinchun in Injae for lenok.
