Thank-you for another great video. No fresh sashimi preparation for us, we live far away from the sea on the giant freshwater Lake Superior. However, it looks delicious! 👍👍👍 It is interesting to see the variety of saltwater fish and their sizes. Our local fish are Walleye, Lake trout, Whitefish, Cisco, Perch, Northern Pike, Rainbow trout(stocked in 1895 and now a resident species), Salmon (Pink, Coho and Chinook, stocked but reproducing naturally now in the tributary streams) and, my favourite, Brook Trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis) (similar to your Iwana (Salvelinus Leucomaenis) but with blue rather than white spots). In our region, the brook trout are resident in streams (mainly) but some will move to Lake Superior, where they are called "Coasters". To protect the Coasters, we are only allowed to keep 1 fish over 56cm up to the first impassable barrier on the tributaries of the lake. Most of us would release such a fish anyways, to help the fishery. This strategy has helped re-establish the Coaster population over the past 30 years. Above the barrier, the limit changes to 5 , with only one over 30 cm allowed. There are many videos on KZbin about Lake Superior Coaster Brook trout. The most popular fish (and plentiful) to eat are walleye, perch and lake trout. Your "Native Trout" videos match the type of fishing I love but casting from shore is looking more interesting. 😃👍 Please keep making your videos!🙏

Hello! Thank you for watching the video and commenting. I didn't know much about Lake Superior, so I searched the internet. It's a big lake that borders Canada and the United States! In Japan, there are regulations such as closed fishing periods, but regulations regarding fishing tend to be loose. I felt that your country has strict rules and has created an excellent environment for breeding and raising trout. In Japan, trout are smaller than they used to be, and the population seems to have decreased. I think we need to establish rules like in your country. I was glad to hear your valuable story (^^)v

@@tsurinan Yes, the surface area of Lake Superior is about 10% larger than the island of Hokkaido, so sometimes it is compared to an "inland sea" but freshwater, of course. The regulations here are a result of historical over fishing and the pressures industry and easier recreational access adds to the environment. For example, clear-cut logging changes drainage and water temperatures, impacting the streams. Also, in my lifetime, streams that required hiking or canoe access are more easily reached as logging roads and ATV's reach into even more remote areas. However, we do have prolific fish and the limits are quite high for those -perch and other panfish mainly.
