Fisheries associations in various regions that manage river resources and the environment are reducing their activities year by year due to aging and other factors, and there are fears that they may disappear in the future. In the Ichikawa River that flows through Kamikawa Town, Hyogo Prefecture, anglers are creating fishing spots and conserving the environment as a new initiative to replace such fisheries associations. Kensaku Urakami, who presides over the Hyogo Trout Foundation, appeals for the importance of coexistence with nature in satoyama regions through creating fishing spots and conserving the environment in the Ichikawa River that he has been familiar with since childhood. The "Trout River Ichikawa Kamikawa C&R Area" is supported by many fly fishermen, and many people visit to enjoy trout fishing and interacting with nature. Urakami's idea of "regenerating his hometown" may be something that will be brought about by people once again taking an interest in the nature around them and cycling with it. 【English subtitles available】 In rural areas of Japan, organizations that protect the fishery resources of rivers and conserve the environment are aging, and the continuation of their activities is in doubt. Kensaku Urakami, who was born and raised in Kamikawa Town, Hyogo, works with volunteer anglers to protect the Ichikawa River that flows through his hometown. His activities are now successful, and he has the support of many fly fishermen all over Japan. ・Hyogo Trout Foundation website = https://www.npohtf.com #flyfishing #riverrunsthroughit #andyettheriverflows
