Bukcheon

If you enjoy skiing, you may have heard of Alps Ski Resort near Jinbu ridge in Korea. Bukcheon starts from the top of the Jinbu ridges and flows into the east sea. This stream is well known as having many wild cherry trout. This stream is shrouded in thick forest. This lets us enjoy flyfishing even in the hot summer and there are no pollution sources upstream. Some demerits; it is hard to find a spot to park the car to approach the stream, and because it is located far to the north, the flyfishing season is shortened. The water warms up late in the spring and cools down early in the fall. How to get this field: I recommend 3 ways to get to Bukcheon:

Second is to take the highway: From Seoul, take highway #1 or highway #10 to Hopob I.C. Take highway #50 to Kangnung. From Kangnung take Nat'l road #7 and go to downtown KangSeong. At KangSeong turn west and take road #46. After about 20km you will reach Buk Cheon (the access from downstream)

Third is to use only Nat'l road. From Seoul take road #6 through YangPyoung. At YoungDu take road # 44 and go to Hangaeri. At Hangaeri take road #46. After going over Jinbu Mountains, you may see the upper stream of Buk Cheon (the access from upper stream). This is a beautiful drive especially in the late spring and early fall.

First and second are how to get to BukCheon from downstream. The third way is to go to the upper stream.

It's hard to find parking place for fishing in this field as I said above, you'd better to go with a guide who kow well this field.

It's good to lodge at Alps resort near BukCheon.Besides many other sleeping accomodations in it's neighboring since this area is near Seorak Nat'l park.

In case tracking for fishing, it's not easy to getting out of the stream because of the elevation, that is so high.Check an approach out beforehand.

For a day fishing, I recommand a spot near Saemaul. Saemaul is a village downstream.You can easily find Parking place and enjoy fsihing with no care.
