A new fish sampling method was developed using a Japanese bait fishing rod (8–9 m carbon rod and a nylon line with a small fine wire single hook), which is considered to catch wild salmonid juveniles with low sampling stress. Using this method, seasonal and daily changes of plasma thyroxine (T4) and cortisol levels were examined in wild parr, pre‐smolts and smolts of masu salmonOncorhynchus masouin contiguous locations in a coastal river (Kesen River; 44 km) in northern Honshu Island, Japan, overlapping the period of smoltification and seaward migration from August to March. Plasma T4and cortisol were low in 0+ and 1+ year parr caught in August and September. In March, some yearling (1+ year) fish, which were judged as pre‐smolts, and smolts appeared mainly in mid and lower reaches, while parr (0+ and 1+ year parr) continued to appear in the upper and mid reaches. In March, 1+ year pre‐smolts and smolts showed high plasma T4levels while the levels of 1+ year parr were low. During March 2008–2010, plasma T4levels of 1+ year pre‐smolts and smolts had high levels from early to mid‐March, whereas plasma cortisol levels of 1+ year smolts were low in early March and increased towards mid‐March. Based on these data, plasma cortisol increases probably occur following the increases of plasma T4levels to lead the 1+ yearO. masouto the completion of smoltification and initiation of seaward migration.
