Lake Hyōri

Lake Hyōri [日座匆; ひょうり・く] is a brackish lake located in central Saka Prefecture. It is the second-largest lake in the prefecture, after Lake Yo. The western portion of the lake is included within the Koroba National Park.
Fishery of clams in Lake Hyōri was once a thriving industry, but it decreased as the lake became less brackish. In the winter, people fish in a traditional fashion by hollowing out the frozen surface. Black bass fishing attracts tourists even from outside the prefecture, though it is thought by some that the indigenous species are threatened by the invasion of the extraneous fish.
