Lake Abashiri in Hokkaido: Fishing for smelt under the ice has begun
北海道の網走湖で14日、わかさぎの「氷下漁」が始まりました
”Under-ice fishing” for smelt began on the 14th at Lake Abashiri in Hokkaido.
Under-ice fishing is fishing for smelt by placing a net under the ice of a lake.
This is done from January to March when the ice is thicker.
14日は、網走市の午前の気温が-10°Cより低くて、とても寒くなりました
On the 14th, the morning temperature in Abashiri City was below -10°C, making it very cold.
Fishermen cut a hole in the ice, about 20 cm thick, and used a machine to raise the net underneath the ice.
Inside the net, there were many silver smelt with a body length of about 10 cm.
According to the Fisheries Association, there were so few smelt last year that fishing was only possible for about two weeks.
This year, I hope to catch around 40 tons of smelt by March, nine times more than last year.
