Action packed Adrenaline sight fishing for white spotted char. My first visit to Lucky Field Lodge in August 2011 is one of my greatest fishing memories. My guide Yoshi topped that in 2016 when he timed the tide just right. Searun char were pushing upstream from the salt. They were on a mission that morning. A carefully timed cast, sink, and twitch hooked into one the hardest fighting fish in Japan. Several reel burns later Yoshi coaxed this fish to net. There have been many other visits that were more relaxed. Namely the "Tree Moth Hatch" on an undisclosed lake. Yoshi matched the fly to a big #10 moth. Since they were literally falling from the trees in the hundreds the fish were not so picky. Both rainbows and the char daddies were displaying abnormal feeding habits that day. Instead of holding a run, slowly rising and ignoring my misplaced casts, these fish were actively seeking and charging my dry flies. At the end of the day, at lunch, and sometimes in the morning there is a always a cold can of celebration beer in my guides pack. The relationship I have with Yoshi and his wife Nagisa inspired me to start my own company that connects my clients & friends to Lucky Field Lodge. I have full confidence in sending my clients here; that is if you can get on the books. Yoshi is one of our most popular guides and hope you will give him a shot.  - Matthew Patrick Awalt (Owner of Far East Outfitters) www.flyfishasia.com 

'The fact that I have had three wonderful fly-fishing trips to Lodge Lucky Field in the last year says it all! Yoshi and his wife, Nagi, are the perfect hosts and their excellent command of English makes life easy for a non-Japanese speaker like me. They run the lodge on a very eco-friendly basis, and produce virtually all their own delicious provisions for the kitchen, where Nagi creates unforgettable dishes! I travel to many parts of the world for my fly-fishing, but Hokkaido and this lodge are my favourite venues. The island offers not only fishing, but excellent bird-watching, hiking and general nature observing, all of which can be pursued with great ease from the lodge, thanks to the unstinting help of Yoshi and Nagi. I am looking forward to my next trip, counting the days!' Gregor Fulton McGregor As chairman of www.mcgregorfly.com 12/Oct/2012
