And Salmon
Fishing Regulation in Churui River.
 
Regulation
and fishing history.
Under the Japanese Fishery Law, Salmon fishing
in Japan in river is not lawful. (You can fish however for salmon
in the sea.). So why we can fish for Salmon at Churui River in
Shibetsu?
1.The Fishery Agency Japan was forced to rationalize
Trout and Salmon hatcheries program in Hokkaido.
2.The Churui River (Hatchery) was selected as one
of the hatcheries to stop its duties, i.e., to catch, hatch,
farm and release trout and salmon.
3.After that every autumn the Churui River is full
of Pink and Chum salmon.
Some key members in Shibetsu Town Office, Shibetsu
Fishery Cooperative and Hokkaido Sports Fishing Society held
a committee meeting to start a movement for Sports fishing of
Salmon in the Churui River and to open the river to sport fishing.
Meetings were held many times between the concerned
Government and our group.
1995 was a memorable year for sport fishing in
Japan. The committee came to an agreement with the Hokkaido Government
(and with the consent of the Japanese Government.) to fish Pink
and Chum salmon in the Churui River under the restrictions
During the year 1999, 9,300 fishermen and women
enjoyed Salmon and Trout fishing at the Churui River in Shibetsu.
They were not only local people from Japan but also from Korea
and even US air force personnel from Hawaii.
When I met with those foreign fishermen at the
Churui River, I always asked them.
"Why did you come to here?" their answer
was very simple. "So many attractive Chum here. And Alaska
is now too crowded."
Please come and enjoy Your Salmon Fishing at the
Churui River. We are looking forward to seeing you here.
