Steve Gibbins takes our readers along on a pond harvest by the Yagenji Koi Farm. The trip is by special vehicle as the trail is in a remote area not passable by regular automobile. Gibbins' story is both informative and entertaining complete with the prospect of bear sightings in this mountainous area. The group on this particular trip included a party from Holland. The pond has good mineral content and exceptional water quality which contributes to the quality of koi removed on this trip. Both Gibbins' narative and photos bring the excitement of the pond harvest to the pages of KOI USA.
