Even in cold weather, people sit on the frozen river and wait for songeo(trout). At one point, people who felt the songeo's strong bite cheered as they lift it up over the hole. This can be seen at songeo festivals held in various regions every winter.

At the songeo festival, you can experience the fun of fishing on the ice. In addition, it is popular as a festival where families can enjoy together because they can feel the winter atmosphere in nature and taste a much more delicious songeo in the winter. This year, the festival has been canceled or replaced by an ice fishing program because Covid-19 has yet to fade. However, the taste of winter songeo is still the same, so why don't your family taste the songeo together, promising a festival next year?
