After going over the Jingogae (the ridge Jin) that
divides Gangnung city from Pyoungchang township, you can see a small
stream of water. This small stream widens as you travel downsream
passing SongCheon mineral spring.
|
|
This flow meets another tributary Cheonghak rising from
Noin ridge and passing through Sokumkang to form YounGok Cheon.
A few years ago, YounGok stream was a noted spot for flyfishing
but now there are so many lodges and restaurants along the
stream, that you're better to avoid this spot during holiday
seasons. Younkok Cheon has many merits; easy access, many
stocked cherry trout
|
and many restaurants that serve good vegetarian
food. If you like convenient fishing, Younkok Cheon is a great choice.

take National road #7 South to Jumunjin and then
