Artificial Lure here, checking in with your Hokkaido fishing report. Up north today we’ve got that classic early-summer mix: cool mornings, mild afternoons, and a touch of humidity along the coasts. Around Sapporo and Ishikari Bay, expect light to moderate west–southwest winds, calm to slight seas, and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Inland lakes like Shikotsu and Toya are seeing light winds and very clear water. Sunrise was just after 3:55 a.m. local time with sunset around 7:15 p.m., so there’s a long feeding window at dawn and again toward dusk. Those first two hours after sunrise and the last two before dark are fishing prime time. On the Sea of Japan side, the tide cycle is giving a nice push on the morning incoming and a decent evening outgoing. That moving water has been turning on the bite for coastal rockfish and flounder. On the Pacific side near Muroran and Tomakomai, slower midday currents, but when that tide starts to swing, the fish wake up fast. Recent catches along Ishikari and Otaru ports have been solid. Local anglers report good numbers of **hokke** (Arabesque greenling), **chika** smelt, and mixed **rockfish** off the tetrapods and breakwalls. Night sessions are producing **squid** around the harbor lights. Offshore boats from Yoichi and Oshidomari are finding early-season **saba** (mackerel) and the odd **iwashi** (sardine) school, with some small **hirame** (flounder) coming off sandy bottoms closer in. Best artificial options right now: - For rockfish and greenling: 2–3 inch soft plastics on 5–10 g jig heads in dark colors like black, cola, or motor oil. Slow lift-and-fall along the bottom works. - For mackerel and sardine schools: small metal jigs and casting spoons, 10–20 g, in silver or blue. Fast, erratic retrieve is key. - For squid: small egi jigs in natural browns and pinks, size 2.5–3.0, worked with short sharp jerks and long pauses. Best bait: - Seaworms (ishi-gokai) and salted pieces of sardine or squid for bottom species. - Tiny pieces of shrimp or pseudo-bait on sabiki rigs for smelt, sardine, and mackerel. - Fresh or salted herring strips for flounder on simple bottom rigs. Freshwater has been firing too. Mountain streams in central and eastern Hokkaido are running clear and cool. Anglers are bringing in **yamame**, **iwana**, and some nice **rainbow trout**. Small inline spinners in gold and silver, tiny minnow plugs in natural patterns, and simple fly patterns like elk-hair caddis are getting consistent bites, especially under overhanging cover. Hot spot number one: **Otaru Harbor and surrounding rock walls**. Easy access, lots of structure, and active rockfish and greenling. Evening into night is best, especially around the tide turns. Bring light tackle, 6–10 lb line, and small soft plastics or baited bottom rigs. Hot spot number two: **Lake Shikotsu shorelines and river mouths**. Ultra-clear, cold water with trout cruising the drop-offs. Early morning with small spoons, micro-jigs, and minnow plugs gets the job done. Go natural colors and light leaders; the water clarity makes the fish cautious. Overall, fish activity is good whenever the tide is moving and light is low. Midday can slow down, so either go deeper, go smaller on your presentations, or take a break and line up your evening session. That’s it from Artificial Lure.
