MEET YOUR GUIDE

Teach. Guide.
Protect.

Kevin's goal is to shape the day around the angler — learning the basics, improving a particular skill, targeting a species, or simply spending a peaceful day outdoors.

Sapporo Streams emphasises conservation and connection to the local fishing community. Its approach is catch-and-release, and the business supports conservation efforts including the Hokkaido Nature Conservation Society and runs free casting and conservation sessions.

GOOD TO KNOW

Just bring yourself
ready for the outdoors.

GEAR INCLUDED

Rods, reels, flies, waders and boots are provided.

HOTEL PICK-UP

Pick-up and drop-off are available within Sapporo city.

BEGINNERS WELCOME

Instruction can start with casting and fish handling basics.

MOUNTAIN TERRAIN

Stream fishing involves moving water, slippery rocks, balance and stamina.
