【緊急調査】単独イワナ釣行は続けられるのか　熊被害に揺れる奥多摩の源流…|渓流ルアー

Bear attacks continue in the headwaters of Okutama—yet why do we still head out to fish for char in the headwaters? With news of bear sightings continuing, this report details the current atmosphere in the Okutama headwaters, safety precautions for solo stream entry, and two reasons why we believe this particular stream poses a low risk. This episode focuses more on reporting the current situation than on fishing results. We'll discuss our channel's approach to dealing with nature in these circumstances at the end of the video. ▼Contents of this episode Caution from the forest road approach (honking and firecrackers to announce presence) Entry at 7:30 AM, later than the early morning when bears are most active Reason for judging it safe ①: Physical separation from bear habitat Right branch of the forked stream = coniferous forest with scarce food sources such as acorns / Left branch = area with constant bear sightings. Between them lies a steep ridge reaching an altitude of approximately 1300m, making it unlikely that bears would cross to the right fork where there is no food. Reason for judging it safe ②: The fact that food had been left unattended for a long period of time A deer carcass found in the waterfall basin last year (April 2025) remained untouched for over a month = Possibility that it is not a bear's habitat Consideration of encounter risk based on topographic maps and past footage ▼Disclaimer (Important) This video does not guarantee safety for any specific stream. There are no "absolutes" in nature, and this judgment is merely a conjecture based on multiple pieces of circumstantial evidence. Bear sightings vary greatly depending on the season and year. If you enter the mountains, please check the latest information yourself and thoroughly manage the risks of solo travel, including taking precautions such as using bear bells and bear spray.
