I was just at that bridge and visited the shrine that is just to the right of the bridge. Your picture captures the beauty of the area. Thanks for posting and sorry you could not go fishing.

Hi Otto, I have never fished in Japan, except for a fish market in Hakodate a bunch of years ago, where you dangle a bare hook in an indoor pond and catch a live squid. They prepare it for you right there for you to eat it! The catch rate is pretty high.

You must post about your fishing later on.

What a gorgeous dressing! You are absolutely right about the wire following the feather. Perfect.

Simply wonderful Otto. Gracefully crafted. You have highly refined eye for composition, in both your tying and photography.

I can’t wait for your Zoom presentation when you get back home. :D ;)
