Bopsoo Stream

Bopsuchiri (the upper stream of Namdaecheon): This stream is a typical hatchery for Cherry trout and Chum salmon. The long stream and thick forest create a stable environment that is ideal for the breeding and growth of Cherry trout. It ranks as a Top Cherry trout stream. This stream starts from the Duru ridges of Ohdae Mt. Down through the small town of OeseongJeon then into Namdaecheon. This stream holds many Cherry trout.

Namdaecheon has two other big tributaries; Ohsak Cheon rising from JeomBong Mt. and Gal Cheon rising from Kuryoungryong. These two streams both contain a number of fine Cherry trout but the fishing in Ohsak stream is poor because of the resort located uptream.

How to get to Bopsuchiri: First by plane: Fly into YangYang. Go to the town of YangYang and take Nat'l road #59. After about 22km you will arrive in Oeseongjeon. After passing the small bridge YoungCheon, turn left onto the unpaved (rocky dirt) road for about 11km to Bopsuchiri.

Second is to take the highway. From Seoul take highway #1 or highway #10 to Hopob I.C. Take highway #50 (YongDong Highway) to Kangnung. From Kangnung take Nat'l road #7 North to HyunBook and take local road #415. After about 18km you will arrive in Oeseongjeon. After passing a small bridge YoungCheon turn left onto an unpaved road for about 11 km to Bopsuchiri.

For fishing this field, you need to prepare more than in other streams. Only at entrance,there are some restaurants and lodges . The road is too dumpy to go back to the outskirts of the village for just getting something you need. Though, you may caught many native Cherry trouts.

It's not good idea to go to Bopsoo only for a day fishing. It' s too long from Seoul and dumpy in part.
But for ones who enjoy alpine fishing, this field is paradise.
