I moved here 3 months ago from california..I have fished for suzuki in tokyo bay and trout at a fishpark up in the mountains.

Not sure of the regulations..i just followed the rules I saw/heard.

I am eager to go more often..so if anyone wants to go out fishing..let me know. I am OK to hire a local guide - or venture out on our own.

I am in Yokohama.

Also i think the standard is to eat what you catch here in japan..from what i have heard it is a major part of the event..cooking and eating what you caught that day.

Thanks
