Hokkaido's Mountain Stream Char Fishing, Guided by Expert Mountain Guides.

北海道山间溪流岩鱼垂钓，由专业山岳向导引领。

For those who aspire to master the art of char fishing in Japan, there is one place that simply cannot be ignored: Hokkaido.

As Japan's northernmost region, Hokkaido is blessed with vast mountainous terrain, home to countless untouched and unexplored hidden streams. Naturally, this makes it a paradise for char fishing. To put it simply, Hokkaido's char resources exist on an entirely different level compared to those of Honshu.

From the sheer number and density of the fish to their size, everything about char fishing in Hokkaido is overwhelmingly superior—so much so that comparisons with Honshu are almost inappropriate. Many anglers in Japan are well aware of this, and those who have been captivated by the allure of fishing for char in Honshu’s mountain streams often dream of one day reaching the ultimate destination: Hokkaido’s hidden fields of paradise, which we are about to introduce.

如果您立志想要在日本的岩魚釣魚領域達到極致，那麼有一個地方是絕對無法迴避的——北海道。

作為日本緯度最高的地區，北海道擁有廣袤的山岳地帶，其中蘊藏著數不勝數的未開發秘境溪流。這裡的存在，理所當然地使北海道成為岩魚釣魚的聖地。簡而言之，北海道的岩魚資源與本州相比，已經是完全不同的次元。

不論是岩魚的數量、密度還是尺寸，北海道都以壓倒性的優勢勝出，本州根本無法與之相提並論。許多日本釣魚愛好者深知這一點，那些沉迷於本州山岳溪流釣岩魚魅力的人們，往往都心懷夢想，希望有朝一日能抵達人生最終的目標——這次我們將介紹的北海道的秘境釣魚場。

What is the true value of char fishing?

When it comes to guiding fishing trips in Hokkaido with char as the main target, one must overcome a variety of hurdles. First and foremost, it is essential to recognize that anglers’ interests are largely concentrated on fishing for char in the mountain streams deep within the wilderness, where this species’ allure is at its peak. As you may already know, however, in Hokkaido, char fishing is not limited to mountain streams. A classic example would be the sea-run char (ame-masu) found in the ocean and lakes. Depending on the season, it’s even possible to catch Hokkaido char in the lower reaches of rivers, meaning there’s no absolute need to venture into the remote mountain streams to enjoy char fishing in Hokkaido.

And yet… in reality, most anglers desire to fish for char amidst the breathtaking scenery of pristine mountain streams and headwaters. This is, quite frankly, a matter of the “angler’s” unique sense of values. It is precisely by aligning with these values that the need for guiding services arises. We believe that committing to and fulfilling this perspective is the very essence of what a fishing guide should strive for.

岩魚釣魚的真正價值是什麼？

以岩魚作為主要目標魚種，在北海道進行專業的釣魚嚮導活動時，必須克服諸多挑戰。首先需要認識到，大多數釣魚人最感興趣的，無非是在深山溪流中釣取這種魚時所展現出的無可抗拒的魅力。然而，眾所周知，在北海道，岩魚釣魚並不僅限於溪流。例如，湖泊和海洋中釣取遷徙型岩魚（海眉鱒）便是經典案例。甚至在某些季節，北海道的岩魚也可以在河川的下游地區釣到，也就是說，並非非得深入山中的秘境溪流才能享受北海道的岩魚釣魚。

然而事實是，大多數釣魚人還是希望能在清澈見底的美麗溪流或源頭水域釣岩魚。這無疑是釣魚人這類生物的價值觀所決定的。而我們認為，釣魚嚮導的價值就在於能夠迎合並實現這種價值觀。滿足這份追求，才是作為嚮導的真諦所在。

Kamuy’s char fishing guides are conducted primarily in mountain streams and headwaters.

Why, you ask? Imagine this: if a guide were to tell their clients, “Don’t worry, you can catch char here too!” and then lead them to some ordinary coastline or fishing port, the clients would undoubtedly be outraged. Well… there’s no need to elaborate further. For those who have taken the time to explore this website, this is likely a shared, unspoken “value” that we all implicitly understand.

The real issue lies in the inherent risks that come with fishing in mountain streams and headwaters. The most significant risks are “injury and getting lost.” Unlike guiding for rainbow trout or Sakhalin taimen, char fishing guides do not involve the use of boats, which drastically amplifies the level of risk. In char fishing, the burden of physically navigating the terrain falls entirely on the client’s own strength.

Kamuy的岩魚釣魚嚮導原則上只在溪流和源流中進行。

為什麼呢？請想像這樣的情景：如果一位嚮導告訴客人「放心吧，這裡也能釣到岩魚！」，然後卻把客人帶到普通的海岸或漁港，那位客人肯定會勃然大怒吧。嗯……也無需多言，對於那些有興趣瀏覽這個網站的人來說，這或許是一種無需解釋的共通「價值觀」。

真正的問題在於，釣魚地點是溪流和源流這類地區所必然伴隨的「風險」。最大的風險是「受傷和迷路」。與虹鱒或櫻鱒的嚮導不同，岩魚嚮導不使用船隻，而這使得風險的程度比使用船隻的釣魚高出一個檔次。在岩魚釣魚中，移動自己的身體完全依賴於「客人自身的力量」。

Kamuy’s Unique Skill Evaluation System

At Kamuy, all guided trips into mountain streams and headwaters—where clients must rely on their own feet to reach fishing spots—are conducted using a unique skill evaluation system. In short, this system acts as Kamuy’s proprietary “safety mechanism,” designed to prevent inexperienced anglers from overestimating their abilities and venturing into dangerous, uncharted territory far beyond their limits.

While we’ll only touch on the basics here, Kamuy categorizes its guided fishing trips into five distinct levels of difficulty. It begins with Level 1, the most casual and safest option, where clients simply wade into nearby streams a short distance from their vehicle. In contrast, Levels 4 and 5 involve multi-day expeditions, where clients carry backpacks weighing over 10 kilograms, set up campsites, and traverse challenging terrain over several days.

Regardless of their background or prior experience, every client is required—without exception—to start at Level 1. From there, clients progress step by step, with their abilities assessed accurately and objectively by the guide based on actual guided trips. This ensures a rational system that not only guarantees safety but also allows clients to challenge themselves at higher levels with confidence as they develop their skills.

Kamuy的獨特能力評估系統

在Kamuy，所有需要靠客人自身步行抵達釣魚地點的溪流和源流嚮導行程，均採用一套獨特的能力評估系統。簡而言之，這套系統是Kamuy專屬的「安全裝置」，旨在防止技術不成熟的釣魚人高估自身能力，冒然進入超出其極限的危險區域，避免發生致命的錯誤。

在此僅簡單介紹，Kamuy的釣魚嚮導行程根據實際溪流和源流的挑戰內容，被分為五個難度等級。Level 1為最安全、最休閒的等級，僅需穿著涉水褲，從車輛出發稍作移動即可到達釣點。而Level 4和5則是多日遠征行程，參加者需攜帶超過10公斤的背包，搭建營地，並在數日間完成艱苦的路程。

無論任何人，不論其理由或過往經驗如何，皆須從Level 1開始。隨著實際參加嚮導行程的次數增加，嚮導會對客人的能力進行精確且客觀的評估，從而讓客人逐步挑戰更高難度的等級。這是一套既合理又高度安全的系統，讓客人可以安心地追求自我挑戰與成長。

The Importance of Trust Between Guide and Client

Kamuy’s guides for char fishing in mountain streams and headwaters are licensed mountain guides, officially certified by Hokkaido’s local authorities. Since clients are entering potentially dangerous fields where risks of accidents and getting lost depend heavily on their own physical capabilities, a guide’s role naturally extends far beyond fishing knowledge and skills.

These guides possess a deep understanding of mountain-related risks and never underestimate them. Consequently, they often demand high levels of safety awareness and responsible behavior from their clients. For those who lack this awareness, a guide stop may be enforced—this is not uncommon. In fact, there have been cases where misunderstandings between clients and guides arise in the field due to these safety measures.

Taking these factors into account, it goes without saying that building a strong relationship of trust between guide and client is absolutely essential. For this very reason, Kamuy’s char fishing experiences above Level 2 are reserved exclusively for members only.

嚮導與客人之間信任關係的重要性

Kamuy的溪流與源流岩魚釣魚嚮導，均為北海道自治體認可的山岳嚮導。由於客人需要親自步行進入依賴自身能力且具有迷路與事故風險的地區，嚮導的職責當然不僅僅是掌握釣魚的知識與技能。

這些嚮導對山域風險有著深刻的理解，並絕不會掉以輕心。因此，他們往往要求客人具備較高的安全意識與自覺行動能力。對於缺乏這種「自覺」的客人，嚮導可能會強制施行嚮導停止（Guide Stop），這種情況並不罕見。實際上，因為這些安全措施，在現場偶爾也會發生客人與嚮導之間的誤解與爭執。

考慮到這些情況，毋庸置疑，建立客人與嚮導之間的信任關係是至關重要的。也正因此，Kamuy的岩魚釣魚嚮導體驗，從Level 2以上的級別開始，全部限定為會員專屬領域。

Introduction to Mountain Stream Fishing Routes by Difficulty.

山岳溪流钓鱼路线难度介绍

Level 1 Char Fishing Fields

The Level 1 designated mountain stream areas are where most people can enjoy fishing safely and comfortably, without feeling overly tense or pushing their limits. Equipped with standard waders and no need to carry heavy gear, these fields allow for a casual yet rewarding fishing experience amidst Hokkaido’s abundant char populations.

Why not bring along a sandwich or bento, brew some coffee by the picturesque stream, and indulge in a relaxing lunch? Take a deep breath of the forest’s invigorating scent, and let it refresh your spirit.

For those who already have experience with this style of fishing, Level 1 provides an excellent opportunity for your guide to evaluate whether you are truly ready to tackle the more demanding terrain of higher levels. The guide will carefully observe your abilities during the trip and may even offer valuable advice, such as suggesting that you refine your skills further at this level before moving on.

Level 1 is the crucial starting point—your gateway to everything that lies ahead.

LEVEL 1 岩魚釣魚區域

Level 1指定的溪流區域，是大多數人能夠輕鬆、安全地享受釣魚樂趣的地方，無需過度緊張或勉強自己。穿上普通的涉水褲，無需背負重裝備，就能以輕鬆的方式體驗北海道那令人驚嘆的濃密魚影岩魚釣魚。

為什麼不帶上一份三明治或便當，在美麗的溪邊沖杯咖啡，享受一頓悠閒的午餐呢？深吸一口森林的清新氣息，徹底讓身心煥然一新吧。

對於已經熟悉這類釣魚方式的釣客，Level 1也是一個重要的評估機會。嚮導將在釣行中仔細觀察您的能力，並判斷您是否真正做好準備迎接更高難度的險峻溪流地形。有時甚至會給出寶貴建議，例如建議您在此階段多加熟練，為進階做好更充分的準備。

Level 1是一切的起點，也是一個極為重要的階段。

Level 2 Char Fishing Fields

Rivers with steep gradients, their waters crashing forcefully over rocks… These are the quintessential mountain streams. However, from this point onward, caution becomes paramount.

A single misstep leading to a fall and the inability to walk could spell disaster. If you can’t make it back to a safe area, the situation could escalate to a survival crisis. In the worst-case scenario, you might require the intervention of a rescue team or even a helicopter.

At Kamuy, char fishing experiences from Level 2 and above are exclusively reserved for members. This is only natural, as specialized equipment, precise movement techniques, and seamless teamwork with your guide become essential.

Above all else, the most critical element is the trust between you and your guide. This goes without saying.

LEVEL 2 岩魚釣魚區域

陡峭的溪流，激流在岩石間咆哮而下…… 這裡便是人們通常所說的「溪流」釣魚區。然而，從這一階段開始，務必提高警惕。

一旦因失足摔倒而無法行走，後果可能不堪設想。若無法自行返回安全區域，情況可能惡化為迷失危機。在最糟糕的情況下，您甚至可能需要動用救援隊或直升機協助。

在Kamuy，Level 2及以上的岩魚釣魚項目，全部僅對會員開放。這是理所當然的，因為這一級別需要專業裝備、特殊的動作技巧以及與嚮導之間的無縫協作。

最重要的，毫無疑問，就是您與嚮導之間的信任關係。

Level 3 Char Fishing Fields

Once a guest member has proven their abilities in Level 2 and their guide declares, “You’re ready to take on an even more challenging field!”, they unlock access to the coveted Level 3.

The difference between Level 2 and Level 3 lies in the length and difficulty of the approach. These are truly wild and rugged fishing areas, yet still designed to ensure a safe return within the same day.

For those who crave authentic adventure and have earned the trust of their guide, Level 3 offers a gateway to the next tier of fishing mastery.

LEVEL 3 岩魚釣魚區域

當會員賓客在Level 2中充分證明了自己的實力，並獲得了嚮導的肯定，「你已經可以挑戰更高難度的釣魚區域了！」，那麼備受期待的Level 3便會向他們開啟。

Level 3與Level 2的區別在於進入路徑的長度與難度。這些區域是真正原始且崎嶇的釣魚場，但同時也設計為能在當日內安全返回的範圍。

對於渴望真實冒險並獲得嚮導信任的釣客而言，Level 3是通往釣魚技藝更高境界的關鍵門檻。

Fishing Fields for Levels 4-5 Iwana Trout

The difference from Level 3 is clear. Starting from Level 4, it’s no longer a day trip—camping in the mountain streamsbecomes essential. Gathering firewood, lighting a fire… under a sky full of stars, you enjoy cooking the Iwana you caught, sipping on whiskey… and indulge yourself in the unparalleled joy of fishing for Iwana in Hokkaido.

There are quite a few people who say, “I’ve always wanted to do something like this someday,” and once they get hooked, they can’t get enough. Every summer, groups with such passion set aside a week to search for Hokkaido’s most remote hidden streams.

Level 4 involves ultra-long routes that require camping as a prerequisite. Level 5, on the other hand, not only features long routes but also necessitates the use of specialized mountain climbing gear to conquer high-difficulty terrain.

4-5級岩魚釣魚場

與3級的區別顯而易見。從4級開始，不再是單純的日歸行程，而是需要在溪流中進行露營。收集柴火，生火……在滿天繁星的夜晚，享受自己釣到的岩魚料理，啜飲著威士忌……沉浸在北海道無與倫比的岩魚垂釣樂趣之中。

有不少人感嘆道：“總有一天，我想嘗試這樣的體驗。”一旦沉迷於此，便無法自拔。每年夏天，這樣的一些人會專門預留一週時間，為尋找北海道最深處的秘境溪流而來。

4級的挑戰是超長路線，露營是前提條件。而5級則在長路線的基礎上，還必須使用專用的山岳攀登裝備，以突破高難度地形。

隐藏在秘密山岳溪流深处的巨大岩鱼……等待勇者。

The Monsters of Hokkaido’s Mountain Streams

How many trout truly inhabit the remote, hidden streams of Hokkaido? Just imagining it is enough to make your heart race. And to be perfectly honest, the reality is far beyond your imagination.

Take, for example, the fishing trips from 2024 alone—what a spectacle! The largest Iwana caught was an incredible 81 centimeters. Not in a lake, not in the sea, but in a small mountain stream. Of course, catching such a monstrous Iwana isn’t something that happens every day, but fish over 60 centimeters? They’re almost commonplace.

In some cases, a single deep pool can yield five or six fish of that size in quick succession, slamming into ultralight or fly tackle and thrashing about wildly. For anyone who enjoys mountain stream fishing for Iwana in Japan, this would undoubtedly be a dream come true—a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’d never forget.

北海道溪流中的怪物們

北海道那人跡罕至的秘境溪流中，到底棲息著多少岩魚呢？僅僅是想像，就足以讓人興奮不已。而實際情況是，這個數量遠超乎你的想像。

僅以2024年的釣行為例，場面可謂壯觀！最大的岩魚達到了驚人的81公分。不是在湖泊，不是在海洋，而是在這麼狹小的山溪中。當然，這種怪物級別的岩魚並非每天都能遇到，但60公分以上的魚卻幾乎成了家常便飯。

有時僅僅一處深潭，就能接連釣起五六條這樣的巨型岩魚，牠們猛烈攻擊你的輕量或飛釣裝備，並拼命掙扎。對於熱愛日本溪流岩魚釣魚的人來說，這絕對是一場如夢一般的體驗，一生難忘的美好回憶。
