Fishing festivals, about 9 to 31 Jan 2027

Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival

One of the world's largest ice fishing festivals, on a frozen stream in Gangwon Province, South Korea, each January.

Each January the small county of Hwacheon, close to the border with North Korea, opens the frozen Hwacheoncheon stream to ice fishing. Visitors fish through thousands of holes drilled in the ice for sancheoneo, the masu or cherry salmon, which are stocked for the festival, and some try catching them by hand in icy pools. The festival began in 2003 and now draws over a million visitors in most years. The 2027 edition is announced for 9 to 31 January, though the programme may still change.

Still to be written: Oncorhynchus masou, Rainbow trout.
