The experienced ones brought their own cute tents and fished inside, while newbies like us had to brave through strong chilling winds in naked wilderness.

The cold was beyond our limits. We took turns to go to the rental shop to fetch some heat.

We left at around 2pm. The bounty to a whole morning of hard work was one pathetic 7cm ワカサギ. But we had fun and we learned, that a tent is a MUST! We promised that we will be back next winter.
