There are many beautiful countries in the world but, I dare to introduce my country Korea as one of the most dense lands with beautiful scenery.
You do not need to go far to see the magnificient scenery in Korea because more than 70% of this land is covered by mountains, valleys, rivers, streams and lakes. Such beautiful scenery of land Korea holds many excellent fishing spots on the rivers that flow through hermit villages and in streams of ravines over the country. In the waters of Korea, there are many species for lure fishing as well as fly fishing, and the population of fish is still quite dense.

I think that Korean anglers are really blessed, living in such beautiful mountains and rivers. Moreover, they can fish in most places of the country without fishing license. To maintain  such a favor, they should understand how they are happier than other countries' anglers who should pay for fishing. And they shoud protect and conserve their beautiful land and fishing spots.

I hereby introduce the good fishing destinations that I frequently visit and fish in Korea, in the purpose to let you feel their real beauty and the necessity of conserving it forever.  I find also that Korean fishing places are so beautiful that those places are worth of being reputed worldwidely. This is one of the main reasons that I open this website in English as well as Korean.

I would like to invite many foreign fishing mates to have the opportunities of angling Korean rivers, streams and lakes with the kind guide and assistance of ours. Please consult this website closely and talk with us for your new lives in Korea as anglers. I am sure that you will understand and love Korea and Koreans more through fishing Korean rivers and lakes.
