Seasons & zones
  • Char late February to April → late September to mid-October

    Honshu/Shikoku/Kyushu keiryu are managed by local fishery co-operatives — a yugyoken (day/annual ticket) is required, and most streams close around 30 September / mid-October for spawning. Species are surfaced in prose only (no engine slugs for yamame, amago or iwana). Legal status: guidance_not_permission.
