Lake Yunoko, popular place for lure fishing, but ???

This lake is the lure fishing birthplace in Japan with Lake Chuzenji.
After Japan opened the gate to foreign countries in the beginning of the Meiji period, the summer villas of foreign embassies, like the UK, the US, Italy and others, were opened in the surrounding of the Lake Chuzenji.
Many diplomats with their family stayed there every summer and they enjoyed fishing and boating or sailing for pleasure as they did in their home country.
And also, they taught the lure fishing to Japanese people. Further, they imported  rainbow trouts from their home country, and those trouts were discharged or released into the lake.  Therefore, the lake Chuzenji and Yunoko became most popular place for trout fishing in Japan until now.
However, unfortunately, anglers are requested to release their catches, because fishes are still contaminated with radioactivity caused by melt downed nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. in March 2011.
Nonetheless many anglers still enjoy lure fishing in this lake.
