It is the fishing spot of four seasons except freezing period in winter

The actual fishing season opens at late winter when it begins to thaw on the stream and the most effective fishing is fly fishing, then. From the middle of April, fishing for Sancheoneo at upper part,  Euneo (sweet smelt) fishing at lower part are already in bloom. In the summer holiday season, this stream is so crowded that you should choose the suitable time and place well, for fishing.

The effective fishing spots are spread for about 20 km between Baek il kyo (bridge) to the frontier of National park 'Odaesan'.  (PHOTO : Keum kang kyo)

At upper part of Baek il kyo, a shore covered with gravels and sand is unfolded for about 5 km and the best spots are up to Haeng jeong kyo(bridge). People like to fish Euneo (sweet smelt ) there. There is a wide lawn on the shore, making easy and comfortable fishing but this area is potable water protection area.

 Passing by Haeng jeong kyo, you will find Sinwang ji (impoundment) where trouts come up well. The trouts are born in the stream of the parents escaped from the old fishery. From Twegok elementary school, the good spots for Sancheoneo begin unfolding. From that spot upward, the best spots for Sancheoneo on Yeon gok cheon begin on the pools and rapids repeated consecutively.  (PHOTO : Around barrier at the upper part of Maya kyo )

On the spots behind Twe gok ri Byeol jang ( cabin), you can probably encounter big Sancheoneo. Since the bottom is covered with sand and rocks, and the deep pools provide good ambushes of Sancheoneo, the fish come up are especially big.

Yong so (or Gama so) are the valley found around lower part of Keum Kang kyo, where an effluent flows in. It is one of the best spots for Sancheoneo but the access is inconvenient. The stream flows fast and the bank is so rugged that fishing alone is not recommended. Around the waterfall, you can probably encounter the trouts on your fly rods.
 

From Yong so to Keum kang mun, Megui as well as Sancheoneo come up many.

There are lots of pools scattered on the fast stream at lower part of Keum kang kyo (bridge), that are the essential spots for anglers to check before going up or down the stream.

From Keum kang kyo upward, the slope of the mountain becomes faster and the stream also flows faster. The wide rapids are unfolding up to Jingogae hyukyeso (snack). Sancheoneo are hooked also in the pool and rapids in front of the spring 'song cheon', that is the most upper stretch of Yeon gok cheon.  (PHOTO : Water barrier downward of Haeng sin kyo)

Upper part of Hwe gol : It is the confluence of Jeonhu chi and Yeon gok cheon, where the fingerings of Sancheoneo are discharged annually. There are some banks inconvenient to move around and cliffy area on the deep pools. Since the spots are remote from the road, moreover, fishing alone on such area is not recommended.

How to get there :

Passing by the forked street Soksa on Yeong dong express way, turn to the right on the intersection 'Sang jinbu' where you can see the signal board [Odae san National park] and go straight toward Odaesan until the forked street 'Owebak gol' comes in sight. Take the right road that leads you to go up Jingogae (pass). On the right side of jingogae, Yeon gok cheon begins its flow.

To start from lowest part of the stream upward, take national road # 7 from Gang reung toward Jumunjin and turn to the left at the junction with road # 6 toward Yeon gok. ...//
