Do I need my own gear?

No! We will provide all the fishing equipment needed. You just need to prepare yourself for the conditions in nature (sun, rain, insects). Beyond that, we have you covered.

How long is an outing?

For a half-day experience, we aim to have you on the stream for 3-4 hours. Travel time is usually a little less than one hour each way from your hotel to the stream. Add on a little time on each end to get ready/break down gear riverside, and you are looking at roughly 6-7hours of total time.

For a full-day experience, we aim to have you on stream for 6-7 hours. Travel time is usually a little less than one hour each way from your hotel to the stream. Add on a little time on each end to get ready/break down gear riverside, and you are looking at roughly 9- 10 hours of total time.

Should we bring food?

If you feel like you want to, yes, you can, but keep in mind that the guide will ask you some questions prior to your outing to have snacks and drinks ready for you, so there is no need to. If you are going on a full-day outing, the guide will have a lunch-like set of food ready for you.

Is it safe?

That is a hard question to pin down. We go into nature, so anything can happen. The river bottom can be slippery, you might get insect bites, and we might even see a bear! Prior to your outing, we will discuss your comfort level and we will then plan accordingly. We’ve taken out teenagers and adults as old as 90! We can find something that works for you.

If we aren’t going to be in Sapporo but nearby, can you guide us?

The honest answer is probably not, but we can discuss it. If you are in the literal borders of Sapporo city, we will pick you up and drop you off. If you are nearby but outside the borders, such as in Otaru, Chitose, or Niseko, we cannot guide you, but we know people who can, so let us know and we’ll put you in contact with guides we know and trust.
