I have safely returned from my business trip to the U.S., where I was serving as a MADE correspondent.
The whirlwind two weeks felt like they were over in an instant, but I plan to write a report later, so please bear with me for a little while longer.
Today, I’d like to introduce a magazine that was released right as I was heading out on my trip, which features a piece on me.
In the Autumn issue (Vol. 78) of Fishing Cafe, published by SHIMANO FISHING, I have a feature titled "How to Enjoy Bike To Fishing," where I introduce the joy of combining cycling and fishing by showcasing my personal style of accessing mountain streams by bike.
Fishing Cafe is a magazine published by Shimano three times a year. Unlike typical fishing magazines that tend to focus heavily on catch results and gear, it aims to create a new fishing culture from cultural and social perspectives.
Personally, I find it to be a magazine with very compelling feature articles, and I am incredibly grateful that they reached out to me for this special feature on Bike To Fishing.
The interview took place in mid-April. I was quite nervous because it was my first mountain stream fishing trip of the season, but I was able to catch a nice-sized amago trout, allowing the feature to wrap up in a great way.
The mountain stream season is ending very soon, but I have a "Bike To Fishing" trip planned with some friends shortly, and I hope to fully enjoy the rest of the season.
Fishing Cafe is available at tackle shops nationwide or via the SHIMANO website. If you are interested in Bike To Fishing, I would be delighted if you would give it a read.
