Beyond Teshikaga’s borders
A wide variety of trout species inhabit Lake Akan, making it a prime spot for fly-fishing enthusiasts. The lake is around an hour’s drive from Teshikaga’s town center. The Lake is a popular spot for ice fishing in the winter. Anglers fish by making holes in the ice; the main catch is Japanese pond smelt. The Akan River, which flows out of Lake Akan and into the Pacific Ocean, is home to large rainbow trout.
