安曇川 と 竹竿職人の小さな幸せ │ A Little Happiness Of Fly Rod Builder

西洋においてフライフィッシングの歴史は古く、昔は主にバンブーフライロッドと呼ばれる竹製のものが最高峰の竿として使用されていました。そんな竹竿を京都で40年近く作り続けている野中角宏さんは、日本におけるバンブーフライロッドビルダー（竹竿職人）の先駆けの一人として名を連ね、国内外に渡り多くのフライフィッシャーの竿を手掛けてきました。また、その仕事柄、日本全国はもちろん海外の僻地まで多くの釣行を重ねた野中さんにとって子供の頃から釣りに慣れ親しんだ原点とも言える川が、滋賀県西部を流れる安曇川です。そこにある豊かな自然と風情ある葛川や朽木の山里は野中さんにとっても心の景色であり、歳を重ねた今、改めて「幸せ」を感じられる場所なのかも知れません。

Kakuhiro Nonaka has been making bamboo fly rods in Kyoto for 40 years and is known as one of the leading experts in this field in Japan. And because of his work, he has traveled to many countries to fish.But there is one river that he calls his roots. It is the Adogawa River that flows through western Shiga. There is abundant nature and beautiful mountain villages there, and he has enjoyed fishing in this area since he was a child. Now that he is older, he feels happy to be able to fish here again.

thank you KZbin for bringing me here

[@user-rf7kc4ev6t]

My father taught me how to drop a fly in a tin can from 10 yards when I was 11. He taught me small brook skills in upstate NY fishing native brookies. I have a bamboo rod made in Utica NY almost 100 years ago. It is pristine. I have memories of lakes and streams and rivers and brooks and the many native fish I saw in them. After a time, fly fishing became so easy I pinched my barbs down. On a trip to the High Sierra for Goldens I cut my hooks off completely and just fished for the strike.....I never harmed another trout.

Your story of valuing nature through fly fishing is heartwarming.

Look, I stumbled across this truly amazing little bit of footage an hour ago and just finished watching it for the third time. It is the finest visual I have ever seen on fly fishing. I am 72 and have fly fished since I was 10 in Scotland, England, Wales and widely in Australia, covering many species, fresh and salt. I did not understand one word the gentleman spoke, nor do I need to. In fact, I would actively avoid any translation, none needed. It was a privilege to have seen this. I will watch it many more times, I thank you.

I've always been curious about those trout in Japan. Trout are magical fish that live in the most beautiful places on earth. It's hard to describe the allure to fly fishing except to say the fish is hooked and released but the angler is hooked forever. It isn't just fishing. It's a way of life where you feel more in touch with God and creation.

I live in Cornwall UK and have a small moorland stream in our garden which has small trout, and the heron starts flying in daily through the winter and cleans them out, but i always see the tiny little fry appearing in the slack water in early summer. 10 minutes down the road i can be on the main river, and cast a fly for a sea trout, or 20 minutes and be by the sea with a chance of a mackerel or sea bass. I love the wild nature of Japan, and appreciate the culture of artisan craftsmanship you have. Arigato and kanpai!
