我希望在飞钓第一年就知道的一切 | 第179集

飞蝇钓其实没那么难，我知道刚开始的时候可能感觉特别难。

Fly fishing isn't that hard and I know it doesn't always feel that way, especially when you start out.

但那是因为很多新手入门时，既没打好基础，也没搞清楚该期待什么。

But that's because a lot of beginners don't get into this sport with a good base of knowledge or expectations.

你一下子被塞进一堆信息，好像每一样都得学会，还指望你在河边能全记起来，这太不现实了。

You're bombarded with a library's worth of info, told that you need to know all of it and good luck remembering it out on the water.

那到底哪些东西是你真正需要掌握的呢？

So what are the things you actually need to know?

哪些能真正帮到你，哪些只是添乱的噪音？

What's gonna make a difference for you and what's just gonna add to the noise?

我不能代表所有人，但结合我自己刚入门时的经历，还有这几年在VFC跟无数新手聊过的体会，我觉得有五点特别关键，只要你记住它们，对你的钓鱼体验会有很大不同。

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but between my own experience starting out in fly fishing and all the beginners I've gotten to talk to at VFC over the last few years, these are the five things that I think if you remember them, they'll really make a difference in how you experience this sport.

这里是《飞蝇钓轻松入门》，为每个人而做。

This is untangled, fly fishing for everyone.

本节目由Ventures Fly Co.赞助播出。

Presented by Ventures Fly Co.

大家好。

Hey, everybody.

欢迎收听。

Welcome to it.

这里是《Untangled》，我是你们的主持人斯宾塞·达兰特。

This is Untangled, and I am your host, Spencer Durrant.

每周做这个节目简直乐不可支，简直不该这么开心，但总得有人来做吧。

Having more fun than a human being ought to be allowed, but someone's gotta do it.

不是的。

No.

每周能来录节目真的特别开心，我们马上就要做到第180期了，想想真不可思议。

I it's it's so much fun to be here every week to do the show and we're we're almost episode one eighty of Untangled, is crazy to think about.

谢谢大家一直收听，让我能做这么多期节目，这真的全靠你们。

So thank you guys for listening and letting me do this many shows because it really is up to you guys.

如果你们不喜欢，我们早就停了。

If y'all didn't like it, we wouldn't be here.

这一切都完全要感谢你们。

So this is all completely thanks to you.

我真的非常感激。

So I I really appreciate it.

这周我整理节目笔记的时候，花了不少时间思考该怎么讲这个话题，因为我特别想知道，二十年前的我会希望知道什么——当我爸带我去春溪，把一根飞蝇竿塞到我手里，说‘别缠住’的时候。

And I spent I spent quite a bit of time this week as I was putting my notes together for this show and just thinking through how I wanted to talk about this because I was really curious about what would me twenty years ago, what would I really wish that I knew when my dad took me out to the Spring Creek and he handed me a fly rod and he said, don't tangle it.

然后他就顺流而上，想一个人安安静静钓一会儿，反正我迟早会把线缠成一团。

And then he went upstream so he could fish in peace for a few minutes before I inevitably tangled it.

所以，回头想想，到底是什么真正改变了局面呢？

So, you know, it was just interesting to go back and think like what really would have made the difference?

哪一点最能带来不同？

What would have moved the needle?

我列出了这五点，是自己想出来的，后来跟亚历克斯聊了聊，想听听他的看法，确保节目内容更全面。

And the five that I came up with, I I came up with them independently and then Alex and I were talking about it just get his thoughts on it, make sure I put together a well rounded show.

结果我们发现，我列出的这些点，基本都涵盖在我们的飞蝇钓入门视频里了。

And we actually realized that most of these things that I came up with are reflected fairly well in our fly fishing crash course video.

这个视频其实分两部分。

It's a it's a two part it's actually a two part video.

第一部分讲的是所有基本技能：怎么抛竿、怎么看水、怎么选饵、怎么遛鱼和把鱼拉上岸。

The first part is all like here are the skills, here's casting, reading water, picking a bug, fighting and landing fish.

这些技巧全都在这儿，怎么操作都给你说清楚了。

Here's all of these skills, here's how to do it.

第二部分呢，我们请了我岳母，她从来没玩过飞蝇钓，把我们的速成课教给她，然后带她去钓鱼，看看她能不能钓到人生第一条鱼。

And then part two is we took my mother-in-law who'd never fly fish before and we taught her the crash course lessons and then we fished with her to see if she'd catch her first fish.

那是她第一次真正出来钓鱼。

Very first day that she'd ever been out fishing.

做这个速成课特别有意思，我也发现，我之前想到的那些要点，几乎全都在我们已经做好的视频里体现了。

So that crash course, tons of fun to put together and I was really it was really interesting to me how so much of what I came up with was actually what was in the crash course that we'd already done.

如果你想亲眼看看这个视频，直观感受一下今天我们聊的内容，节目简介里有链接，直接点开就能看我们的飞蝇钓速成课。

So if you really wanna see that video and see some visual representation, what we're gonna talk about today on the show, there's a link to take a take a look at that down in the show notes, just our fly fishing crash course.

咱们就直接进入正题吧。

But let's just let's dive right into it.

第一点，这些并不是按重要性排序的。

And number one, these aren't in order of importance by the way.

我只是按想到的顺序列出来的。

It's just in order that they kinda came to me.

不是说第一点比第五点更重要。

So it's not that number one's more important than number five.

我觉得它们都同样重要。

I think they're all equally important.

第一点是，你根本不需要记住每种蝇饵的名字。

But number one is you don't need to memorize the names of flies.

最近我经常收到这个问题，有人通过邮件问播客，也有我们学习群里的朋友一直在问。

And I've been getting this question a lot lately from folks who've sent it in as a question to the podcast, folks in our school group have been asking this a lot.

我们收到了不少发到VFC邮箱的邮件，都在问：我怎么分辨这些蝇饵分别是什么？

We've had just emails to the the VFC email address just asking like, how do I know which flies are which?

最好的办法是什么？

What's the best way to do this?

我不太确定，因为他们想知道，当他们在水上钓鱼时，别人说‘我用一只闪亮蜉蝣钓到的’或者‘我用佩里多恩钓到的’，他们能不能听懂。

I I I'm not sure because they they wanna know if they're out on the water and someone says, yeah, I caught these fish on a sparkle dun or I caught these on a peridone.

你知道对方在说什么，根本不用再问。

You know what they're talking about and you don't have to ask.

不过我确实记得，我刚学钓鱼那会儿，也遇到过同样的情况。

Although I will say, I do remember being in that exact situation as a as a young pup of an angler.

有个人跟我说，他用的大概是R.S.2之类的 flies。

And this guy told me, I think it was a lot of like an r s two or something.

他说他用R.S.2钓到了一条鱼。

And he told me he'd caught a fish on an r s two.

我没听清楚，还以为他说的是R2D2。

And I didn't hear him right and I thought he said r two d two.

顺便说一句，这可不是侵犯迪士尼的版权。

And this is not copyright infringement by the way Disney.

我知道你们动不动就喜欢告人，到处打官司。

I know that you like to sue everybody for everything all the time.

我只是在引用迪士尼的流行文化。

I'm just referencing pop culture Disney.

明白吧？

Okay?

别紧张。

So chill.

我看着他，问：R2D2？

So I looked at him and I said, the r two d two?

我不知道那是哪种鱼饵。

I don't know what that fly is.

他看着我，摇摇头说：不是，是RS2。

And he looks at me and just kind of shakes his head and says, no, r s two.

那一刻我突然明白了。

And then it clicked.

他给我看了那种鱼饵的样子，从那以后我就再也没忘过。

And then he showed me what it was and then I've never forgotten what that fly is since then.

所以我也想说，别害怕去问别人，因为这其实也是学习的好方法。

So I would say also just don't be afraid to ask people either because it's a great way to learn too.

我觉得没人会觉得你蠢，或者觉得我和这人共用一条河，他连条浮蝇都认不出来。

So I I don't think someone's gonna think you're an idiot or like, I'm sharing the water with this guy and he doesn't even know what a bar's emerger.

有人可能会说：‘赶紧把他请走吧。’

Somebody get well, get him out of here.

行了。

Alright.

这种人可不能出现在我的河里。

We we can't have riff raff like this on my river.

有些地方确实会有这种反应，但绝大多数钓鱼人根本不会这样。

There might be reactions like that in some places, but the vast majority of anglers are not going to act that way.

所以，也别害怕去问他们。

So don't be afraid to ask them either.

不过我明白，用自己叫不出名字的饵去钓鱼，确实有点别扭。

But I do understand that it feels weird to fish with stuff you don't know the names of it.

对吧？

Right?

我明白，这可能会让你觉得压力大、很混乱，好像完全搞不清楚状况。

I understand that that could feel intimidating and overwhelming and like you're not getting a full clear picture.

但你真没必要一开始就死记硬背每种蝇饵的名字。

But you really don't need to memorize the names of flies right off the bat.

作为钓手，你最先该操心的，根本不该是这个。

That should not be one of your first things that you are worrying about as an angler.

对蝇饵的熟悉程度，是会随着你钓鱼的时间慢慢积累的。

Familiarity with your fly is gonna come with time.

你钓得越多，自然就会记住这些蝇饵的名字。

You're going to learn the names of the flies the more you fish.

一定会的，我向你保证。

It will come, I promise.

如果你真想好好学，就弄些闪卡吧。

If you really, really wanna learn them, get some flashcards.

这会有帮助，但时间久了自然就懂了。

That might help, but it will come with time.

明白吗？

Okay?

真正重要的是，你不用非得知道这个叫‘闪亮修女’，那个叫‘WD 40’，最关键的是你能看出：鱼现在吃的是什么，然后选一个最像的蝇饵。

What really matters more is not that you know, oh, this is a Sparkle Nun and this is a WD 40, but what matters the most is that you're able to say, oh, the fish are eating this and this is the fly that most closely matches what they're eating.

我这就来绑上这个。

I'm gonna go ahead and tie that on.

你可以用我们VFC的蝇饵选择指南，按照正确的配方来搭配。

And you do that by use by utilizing the right fly formula, our little guide for picking the right fly here at VFC.

你只需要看清楚鱼在吃什么，然后根据大小、形状和颜色来匹配就行了。

All you need to know is you've got to look at what the fish are eating and then you've got to match that based on the size, the shape, and the color.

这三样最重要，而且顺序就是这么排的。

Those are the three most important things and those are in order.

所以，第一步得先选对蝇饵的大小。

So you wanna get the right size of fly first.

所以如果你到了河边，看到那些翅膀高高竖起、尾巴很长的小虫子，它们看起来简直像水面上的小帆船。

So if you get to the river and you see these bugs with these really tall upright wings and long tails, they almost look like a little sailboat on the water.

你得先匹配它们的大小。

You're gonna wanna match the size of that first.

然后翻翻你的 Fly 盒子，找一个大小差不多的。

So you'll look in your box and find a fly that looks roughly the same size.

接下来要关注形状。

Then you wanna go for the shape.

这时候你要找那种尾巴比较长、翅膀不多的，大概就只在头部附近有几根羽毛就行。

So then you're gonna be looking for something that's got kind of that longer tail and not really a lot of wing on it, you know, maybe just some up more around the head.

只要大小和形状都对上了，找到个看起来不错的，直接扔出去试试。

And then if you can match size and shape, you find something that looks good, throw it out there.

如果颜色也能完全匹配，那就更好了。

If you've got an exact color match, that's even better.

不过大多数时候，鱼对颜色没那么挑剔。

But most of the time the fish don't get super picky about color.

你真正需要注意的，就是大小和形状。

It's just size and shape that you've really gotta worry about.

如果你记不住这个正确的飞蝇搭配公式，或者分不清什么是蜉蝣、什么是石蛾之类的，我们这儿正好有一本《VFC野外指南》，里面全都有。

And if you want some help remembering that right fly formula or you want some help remembering like what's a mayfly, what's a caddis, all that other stuff, we've actually got all of that in our VFC Field Guide right here.

这本小巧防水的小册子能轻松放进你的渔具包里，正确的飞蝇搭配方法就在第二页。

This little handy dandy completely waterproof booklet that fits right in your right in your fishing pack and the right fly formula is like page two.

就在这儿。

So it's right here.

而且这些全是免费的。

And these are completely free.

我们就是免费发放的。

Actually, we're just giving them out.

我们希望每个人都能拿到里面的信息。

We want everybody to be able to have the info that's in here.

里面有飞蝇资料、组装图解，还有很多实用的内容。

There's fly information, rig diagrams, lots of really good stuff.

我们希望你们能拿到这个，这样你们在水上钓鱼时能玩得更开心。

And we want you guys to have this so you can have a great time out on the water.

就像我说的，完全是免费的。

Like I said, completely free.

你只需要付点邮费，就能收到它。

You just have to pay the shipping to get it to you.

在节目说明里，或者屏幕上的某个地方，有个链接可以领取，如果你在看视频播客，就能直接下载属于自己的野外指南。

And there's a link to grab those down to the show notes or somewhere here on the screen if you're watching the video podcast, you can grab your own field guide.

不过，飞蝇的名字是会慢慢记熟的。

But again, names of the flies are gonna come with time.

别担心非得把它们全背下来。

Don't worry about committing them to memory.

别因为记不清Elkhart石蛾和降落伞亚当斯长什么样，就觉得自己不够专业。

Don't feel like you're less of an angler because you have a hard time remembering what the Elkhart Caddis looks like from the parachute Adams.

这完全没关系。

That's fine.

时间久了自然就懂了。

It's gonna come with time.

观察水面上的情况，找准饵料的自然漂移，这比什么都管用。

Match what you see on the water, focus on a good drift, and that's gonna help you more than anything.

这就引出第二点：钓鱼的位置比你用什么饵重要得多。

And that really leads us into point number two, which is where you fish matters way more than what fly you use.

明白吗？

Okay?

如果你能匹配水里的昆虫，选对鱼正在吃的东西，挑个相似的饵，这非常关键。

If you can match the hatch, if you can match what the fish are eating, if you can pick a fly that is a good example of what they're eating, that's very important.

这就像一些基本的生活技能，比如从头开始调制地道的水牛城辣酱，或者——听说现在还有人会熨衣服。

That is one of the most basic life skills like knowing how to make a good buffalo sauce from scratch or apparently knowing how to iron.

我之前就因为这个被笑话过。

I got roasted for that a while ago.

原来真还有人熨衣服啊。

Apparently, people still iron.

但这些技能确实很重要。

But those skills are important.

你必须掌握它们。

You definitely need to have them.

但如果你没把饵虫放到鱼所在的位置，那根本没用。

But it really doesn't matter if you are not putting those flies where the fish are.

明白吗？

K?

就算你选的饵虫完美到极致，已经做到最好了。

You can have the absolute perfect fly selection, and you could just be just you could've just nailed it.

对吧？

Right?

这个饵虫看起来简直无懈可击。

This is the best looking fly.

完美到没话说，可要是没放在鱼那儿，一切白搭。

This is absolutely perfect, but if you don't put it where the fish are, doesn't matter.

所以我一直说，如果你是刚看这个节目，我敢保证你听得耳朵都起茧了——但这就是我要反复强调的：作为钓鱼人，你的任务就是把假蝇送到鱼面前，让它看起来像真的一样。

That's why I say all the time, and if you're new to the show, I promise you're gonna hear this, but that's why I say all the time, your job as an angler is to put flies in front of fish and make them look real.

明白吗？

Okay?

把蝇饵放到鱼所在的地方，用的假蝇要跟它们正在吃的东西一模一样。

Put them where the fish are and use a fly that looks like what they're eating.

这才是你最该掌握的本事。

Those are your key skills.

当然，有时候鱼会特别挑食，那时候你确实需要精准匹配蝇饵，就算你抛得再完美，只要不是那个 exact 的款式，它们就是不吃。

And yes, sometimes the fish are gonna get super picky where you do need an exact fly and no matter how well you present it, they're not gonna eat it unless it's the exact perfect fly.

但据我经验，这种情况极其罕见。

That's extremely rare though in my experience.

更多时候，问题其实就出在：你有没有把蝇饵送到鱼该吃的地方？

It's way more often comes down to, are you putting the fly where the fish need to be?

好吧。

Okay.

我来给你举个例子，稍微说一下。

Let me give you an example of this for a minute.

我最近在播客里讲过这个故事，不过现在再拿出来讲一遍。

I just told the story recently on the pod, but I'm gonna bring it back up again.

我和朋友米西斯·迈克一起去钓鱼，那是我这辈子遇到过的最棒的蓝翅橄榄石蜉蝣场景。

I'm out fishing with my buddy, Mycis Mike, the greatest blue winged dolphatch I've ever been in in my life.

那天鱼还挺挑的。

And the fish were kind of picky.

它们对昆虫的生命周期阶段特别讲究。

They wanted they they were very picky about the life cycle stage.

先是要羽化中的虫，接着要刚羽化的成虫，然后又要翅膀下垂的死虫或交配后的雌虫。

So they wanted emergers and then they wanted the duns and then they wanted the the spent wings or the spinners.

所以我一直很认真地模仿它们吃的虫子，自己钓得还行。

So I was religiously kind of matching the hatch and I was I was doing alright for myself.

钓到了几条鱼。

I was catching a few fish.

但我的朋友迈克，他在上游几百码的地方，钓到的鱼却是我的十倍多。

But Mike, my buddy, he's a few 100 yards upstream from me and he is catching more fish than I am by like a 10 to one margin.

他用的全是格里菲斯浮蝇，等我们钓完，那蝇饵基本上就只剩钩子上绕了两圈线了。

And he's doing it all with a Griffith's net that by the time we got done fishing was basically just two turns of thread on a hook.

他就靠这个在钓鱼。

It's all that he was doing.

但迈克真的把这招练到了极致，他总能把蝇饵精准地投到鱼儿想吃的地方。

But Mike really had that nailed down to where he was putting that fly right where the fish wanted it.

鱼儿在哪儿吃，他就让蝇饵在哪儿看起来跟真的一模一样。

Right where they were eating, he was making it look as real as possible.

这种细节往往被忽略，尤其是刚入门的人。

So that's the important stuff that that gets overlooked sometimes, especially as a beginner.

我以前也这么想过。

And I remember feeling this way.

每次去河边，我都想，要是我能有他用的那种神奇蝇饵就好了。

We're going to the river and thinking, man, if I only had the magic fly that that guy's using her.

我以前老是这样。

I and I I would do this all the time.

我看别人一连钓上四五条鱼。

I would watch people catch four or five fish in a row.

我就走过去问：不好意思，能问问你用的是什么饵吗？

And I'd go up to him and say, hey, do you mind me asking what fly you're using?

那时候，从来没人对我态度不好。

And I don't think I ever had someone be mean to me at that point.

他们都会告诉我，然后我想，哦，原来是这个。

They'd tell me and then I think, oh, okay.

就是这个饵。

That's the fly.

我换上这个饵，就觉得稳了。

And I put that fly on and think I'm in business.

这下肯定能钓到鱼了。

I'm gonna catch these fish.

我要让他们知道谁说了算。

I'm gonna show them who's boss.

我要成为那个让所有人都羡慕的顶尖钓手。

I'm gonna be the freaking awesome angler that everybody looks up to.

但我还是老钓不到鱼，直到我真正明白了：飞蝇的款式确实重要。

And then I just keep getting skunked because this lesson then sunk in that, yeah, fly pattern is important.

飞蝇的款式很关键。

Fly pattern matters.

但更重要的是，你的飞蝇在水里怎么漂、看起来像不像真虫子。

But where that fly is drifting and how it looks, that's way more important.

明白吗？

Okay?

别因为觉得自己没用对飞蝇就压力太大。

So don't get overwhelmed by feeling like you don't have the right fly.

根本没有什么神奇的飞蝇。

There's no magic flies.

我在这档节目里也经常提到这一点。

Talk about that a lot on the show as well.

多花点心思把飞蝇投到该去的地方。

Focus way more on putting those flies where they should be.

接下来是第三点。

Now, point number three.

这一点其实和第二点有点关联，但我常看到新手犯的一个错误，真是让人头疼。

And this also kind of dovetails with point number two, but something else I see beginners do and I oh my goodness.

我们来聊聊我刚入门时最差劲的一项技能，就是这个。

We want to talk about probably one of the things I was the absolute worst at as a beginner and it was this.

假抛投根本是浪费时间。

False casting is a waste of time.

明白吗？

Okay?

如果你还不清楚什么是假抛投，那就是你在真正把飞蝇抛到水面上之前，反复做的那些多余抛投。

And false cast, just in case you don't know, they're all the extra cast that you make before you actually lay your flies down on the water.

很多时候，我们听说用干蝇钓鱼时，等漂移结束，把蝇线收回来，可能需要一两投重新定位，但有人会多投一两下，把蝇子甩干。

A lot of times we hear that if you're fishing with dry flies, you get to the end of your drift, you pick it up, and maybe you need to make one or two cast to get the distance to lay that fly down again, but maybe you throw in an extra cast or two to dry that fly off.

是的。

Yeah.

明白。

Okay.

为了把蝇子甩干，多投一两下，然后再放下去。

We'll throw in an extra cast to dry the fly off and then lay it down.

你看，马克斯，你为了把蝇子重新放回水面，已经投了四五次了。

You know, max, you're looking at four or five casts that you've thrown to get your fly back down.

我觉得这也没啥不妥。

I don't think that's unreasonable.

不合理的是，像我以前那样，投了二十多次才把蝇子放回水面——因为你老看到别人在投，投得频繁，就觉得你也得这么干。这其实是因为你一开始根本没搞清楚基本规则和预期，只听说‘投掷很重要’，然后一看别人怎么投，你就照搬。

What's unreasonable is when you're me and you're throwing like 20 cast before you lay your flight back down because just you see people casting, you see people casting a lot, you see them casting frequently, you think you need to do the same because again, this this ties into going into it without that baseline knowledge or expectations and you're just told, yeah, casting is important and then you watch everybody cast and you try to imitate that.

其实根本不是这么回事。

Really what it boils down to isn't that.

对吧？

Right?

你没必要抛个几十上百次。

You don't need to cast a bajillion times.

你只需要把蝇饵送到鱼那儿就行。

You just need to get your flies to the fish.

就连现在，我有时候还是抛得太多。

And even now, I still cast way too much sometimes.

我会发现自己无谓地反复抛投，远超必要。

I will catch myself false casting way more than I should.

但每到这时候，我总会想起一句建议。

But when that happens, there's this piece of advice.

我认识的最厉害的钓手之一，他至少开过一家蝇钓店。

One of the best anglers I've ever known, he owned at least one fly shop.

我以前也开过几家。

I'd owned couple at some point.

现在他是业内一家大公司的区域销售代表。

Now he's a he's a regional sales rep for one of the big companies in the industry.

但他最早给我的一条建议，至今让我印象最深：世界上最厉害的钓手，都能在三竿之内把线和饵准确送到鱼面前。

But he told me one of the first bits of advice I ever got from him was the best anglers in the world are the ones who can pick up and get their pick their lineup and get their flies to the fish in three casts or less.

不知为什么，自从听到这句话，它就一直刻在我脑子里。

And for whatever reason, that's just stuck in my head ever since I heard that.

这对我帮助特别大，每当我发现自己无谓地反复抛投时，就会听见这句话在耳边响起，提醒我：别急，冷静下来。

And it's really been helpful to me because when I find myself false casting too much, I hear that in my head and I think, okay, calm down.

专心一点，把线收好，一两竿把距离控准，轻轻放下去就行。

Just focus on, you know, pick the pick the line up, cast once or twice to get the distance, lay it down.

只要你懂抛投的原理，又肯多练，完全能做到。

And if you understand casting mechanics and you practice your casting, you can do that.

我敢说，我自己大概也就个平均水平的抛投手。

You can absolutely do that because I'll be the first one to admit I'm probably like an average caster.

谈不上多厉害，但也不算差。

I'm not great, but I'm not terrible.

我就是个普通水平，跟大家差不多。

I'm just right in the middle of the pack with everybody else.

但我大多数时候都能在三竿之内把飞蝇精准地抛到目标位置。

But I I can pick my flies up and put them down within three casts most of the time.

自从我专注于这一点后，效果真的特别明显，因为假抛太多的话，很容易缠成一团。

And that's that's made a huge difference as I've focused on that because if you spend too much time false casting, you're setting yourself up for a lot of tangles.

明白吗？

Okay?

你会遇到尾环塌陷，要么是竿子甩得太快，要么是太慢。

You're gonna get tailing loops where your loop kind of collapses and you're moving the rod too quickly or too slowly.

那样肯定要缠线。

That's gonna tangle up.

最后整个线团都会乱成一团。

It's just gonna turn into a giant mess.

尤其是在干蝇孵化期，有些鱼本来就特别警觉，要是水又浅又清，或者经常被人钓过，你飞线在它们头顶上甩五六次才把蝇饵放下去，它们立马就吓跑了，还会跟同伴说：‘那个德兰特又来了，这人前前后后抛了上千次，才把那个难看的 parachute 蝇扔到我面前。’

And then some fish, during dry fly hatches, they are spooky enough if the water is low and clear or if they're really pressured that if your fly line whips over their head five or six times before your fly lands in front of them, that's gonna spook them and they're gonna slink away and tell everybody, yeah, that that Durrant guy is back again and he's casting like 8,000 times before he put that awful parachute in front of me.

别吃他的 flies。

Don't eat his fly.

不行，吉米。

No, Jimmy.

不行。

No.

我跟你说过。

I told

你不能吃，真的。

you don't no.

明白了。

Okay.

很好。

Good.

你没吃掉。

You didn't eat it.

谢谢。

Thank you.

你不需要那个。

You don't want that.

下面那些鱼可不会说你的好话，你别去招惹它们。

You don't want the fish down there bad mouthing you.

而且你肯定不想整天忙着解线结，而不是好好抛投。

And you certainly don't wanna be dealing with tangles instead of casting.

所以注意你的假抛动作。

So watch your false cast.

我觉得初学者确实容易多做假抛，因为你还在找抛投的节奏和手感，这很正常。

I will say that I do think beginners false cast a lot because you're still trying to get the rhythm and the feel of casting down, and that's great.

但我建议你去公园里多练练。

But I would urge you just go practice out at a park.

别在水边练这些动作，不然容易缠线、惊跑鱼，到时候只会让你更烦躁。

Don't really practice that out on the water because that is when you you can run into the tangles and spooking fish, and then you're really just frustrated.

你可以在公园练习抛竿，如果最近的练习地点是河边，那就别挂饵，先空抛几分钟，免得缠线或者丢掉飞蝇。

Practice your casting at the park or if you're gonna go to the river, if that's the closest place to you that you have to practice your casting, then, you know, don't tie a fly on and just work with that for a minute so you're not at least tangling and losing flies potentially.

这可是我要给你的最重要建议。

But that that is my big advice there for you.

接下来第四点，讲的是如何刺鱼、抄鱼和放生，前面那些固然重要，但这个更关键。

Now, point number four has to deal with all hooking, landing, and releasing fish because all this other stuff's well and good.

明白吗？

K?

抛竿要准，把飞蝇送到该去的地方，可真钓到鱼了，你的手该怎么做？

Casting, get flies where they need to be, but what are you supposed to do with your hands when you actually hook a fish?

鱼咬住你的飞蝇了。

They eat your fly.

这时候你该怎么做？

What are you supposed to do?

对吧？

Right?

你一下子肾上腺素飙升，脑子却突然一片空白。

You get this huge surge of adrenaline and then your mind goes blank.

心里一惊：糟了。

You think, oh, crap.

我该干嘛啊？

I don't know what to do.

其实这里有几件事要注意。

Well, there's a couple of things here.

第一件事，先别慌。

First things first.

钓鳟鱼时，刺钩一定要果断扎实。

You wanna make sure that your hook's set when you're setting the hook for trout fishing.

不管是吃干蝇还是 nymph，只要不是钓流蝇那种情况，鱼一咬你就得赶紧刺钩。

They come up and eat your dry fly, they eat your nymphs, whatever it is other than streamers, which is a slightly different technique.

看到浮标一动，或者干蝇突然被拽下去，那就是鱼咬钩了。

But for nymphs and dry flies, you see the the bobber move, you see the dry fly get eaten.

别猛地拉、扯、扭动身体。

You don't yank and pull and twist with your body.

不用像《大嘴鲈鱼》里那种又猛又激烈的提竿动作。

You don't have this big violent hook setting motion that you see in Bassmaster classics or whatever.

根本不需要那样。

You you don't need that.

那样会把鱼钩从鱼嘴里扯出来，而且我们通常用的线比较细，比如四号或五号子线，稍一用力就容易断。

That is going to rip the fly out of the fish's mouth because we tend to fish with a little bit lighter line too, you know, four or five x tippet, you do run the risk of snapping a lot of that line as well.

最好的办法是把线紧贴在竿柄上，然后稳稳地向上抬竿。

Instead, the best way to get a good firm solid hook set is just hold the line tight against the cork of your rod and then lift straight up firmly.

别太快。

You don't don't go super quick.

也别太慢。

Don't go super slow.

别突然猛拉。

Don't jerk it.

别像抽鞭子一样猛拉。

Don't like crack it like a whip.

保持线紧，直接往上提。

Just keep that line tight and lift.

用力把钩尖顶进去，直到感觉到钩住了鱼。

Drive that hook point home until you feel it bite into the fish.

之后就得靠调整鱼竿角度这些方法来遛鱼了。

And then after that, you've got to go ahead and and play the fish using, you know, rod angles or whatnot.

这种遛鱼的技巧，你慢慢会形成自己的风格。

That's something that really you'll develop your own style of fighting fish.

而且你肯定会丢掉不少鱼。

Also, you're gonna lose a lot of fish as well.

这很正常，尤其是刚开始的时候。

That's just part of it, especially early on.

所以别灰心。

So don't feel bad.

别觉得自己做错了什么。

Don't feel like you're doing something wrong.

跟鱼搏斗的关键是用侧向压力，让鱼竿的弯曲方向朝着你希望鱼游的方向。

The big thing with fighting fish is you wanna use some side pressure and you want the bend of the rod to point in the direction that you want the fish to go.

如果鱼往上游跑，就把鱼竿往侧面弯，让弯度朝向你自己、朝向抄网，这样才好把它抄上来。

So if the fish is running upstream, you want to kind of bend your rod to the side and have that bend pointing back down towards you, towards the net so you can get them in there.

但刺钩的时候，别猛拉，也别身体晃得太厉害。

But that that hook set, just make sure you're not jerking and moving your body too much.

明白吗？

Okay?

只要你保持钓线紧绷，全程持续施压，效果会好很多。

It it really will help you a lot if you just focus on a nice tight connection and then keep pressure on during the entire fight.

别让钓线松掉。

Don't lose tension on the line.

一旦钩住鱼后钓线上有了任何松弛，你跑鱼的概率就会大幅增加。

The minute that you let any slack get into your fly line when you've hooked into a fish, you exponentially increase your chances of losing that fish.

所以别让这种情况发生。

So don't let that happen.

另外我要提醒你的是，放生鱼的时候，尽量少碰它们，尤其是鳟鱼。

And then the other thing I'll tell you too here as well is when you're releasing the fish, you wanna handle them as little as possible, especially trout.

而且在碰鱼之前，先把双手弄湿。

And then you wanna get your hands wet before you touch them too.

鳟鱼身上有一层保护性的黏液，能帮它们抵抗疾病和其他伤害。

So trout have this protective layer of slime on them that protects them from disease and other things.

所以碰鱼前先把手弄湿，就能减少黏液被擦掉的量。

So before you touch the fish, if you get your hands wet, you won't remove as much of that slime layer.

要是用干手直接抓，会把大部分黏液都扯掉。

If you just grab them with dry hands, you'll actually yank a lot of that slime layer off.

放生时，要小心把鱼钩取出来，别把鱼捏得太紧导致它窒息。

And then make sure that as you're releasing them, you're working the hook out, you're not squeezing the fish to death.

别把鱼放在岸边、石头上，或者草地上拍照什么的。

Don't lay them down on the banks, don't lay them on the rock, don't lay them in the grass for pictures or whatnot.

尽量让鱼一直待在水里，保持湿润，处理时越少接触越好，如果打算放生，就尽快把鱼送回水里。

You'll keep them in the water as much as you can, keep them wet, and then just make sure that that you're handling the fish as little as possible and get them back in the water if you're choosing to release them.

如果打算吃掉，记得遵守捕捞限额，向你致敬，祝你晚餐愉快。

If you're gonna eat them, you know, keep your legal limit, tip my hat to you and hope you have a great dinner.

但如果选择放生，一定要用正确的方式，让鱼有更大的机会存活并长得更大。

But if you're gonna release them, make sure you're releasing them the right way so they have a great chance of surviving and growing bigger.

这样你以后才能再钓到那些长到二十五英寸的大鱼。

So you can catch them when they're that 25 incher at that point.

还有第五点，我也想提醒你，别害怕尝试其他鱼种。

And then point number five, I'll tell you as well, don't be afraid to try other species.

这一点跟我们平时聊的很多内容不太一样。

And this is the one that kind of deviates I think from a lot of a lot of the stuff we talk about.

但很多飞钓的内容和媒体，都只聚焦在鳟鱼身上。

But a lot of fly fishing, lot of fly fishing media centers all around trout.

我以前也说过，我觉得鳟鱼钓鱼可以说是这项运动的精神核心——我不是以高高在上的精英态度说这话，但确实如此。

And I've talked about that before where I think trout fishing is sort of the and I'm not saying this in the condescending elitist way, but it is sort of the spiritual center of the sport.

飞蝇钓的很多独特之处，让它成为在河里钓鳟鱼时既美丽、有趣，又充满挑战、让人抓狂、激动人心的方式。

A lot of fly fishing's unique attributes just lend it lends itself to being a beautiful, fun, challenging, frustrating, exciting, exhilarating way to fish for trout in a river.

飞蝇钓特别擅长这一点。

It's just fly fishing's great at that.

我不是说它不适合钓别的鱼，但确实有种近乎诗意的感觉。

Not to say it's not great for other species either, but there's there's all there's this poetry almost.

我可不是想故作高深，但就是有一种特别的魅力，让很多人对飞蝇钓鳟鱼情有独钟。

Again, I'm not trying to get too high brow, but there's just something about fly fishing for trout that is very attractive to a lot of folks.

所以大家的关注点都集中在飞蝇钓鳟鱼上，因为这两者之间真的有种天然的契合。

And so that's why so much of the focus is on fly fishing for trout because there's there's just something about it where those two go hand in hand.

不过话说回来，鳟鱼可不是飞蝇钓能钓到的唯一鱼种。

That being said, trout aren't the only thing you can catch on a fly rod.

你还能钓到鲈鱼、太阳鱼、狗鱼、马鲛鱼，还有海鱼。

You got bass, you got panfish, pike, musky, saltwater fish.

这些鱼用飞蝇竿都能钓到，而且特别有意思。

Those are all catchable on a fly rod, and they're tons of fun.

我们之前稍微提过这个话题，下周会再深入聊，但最近我刚去了一趟佛罗里达，用飞蝇钓法钓了不少鲈鱼和海水鱼，简直太爽了。

We've talked about it a little bit, and we'll be talking about it in-depth next week, but we're we we had a a little trip to Florida recently where I got to do a whole bunch of bass and saltwater stuff on the fly, and that was so much stinking fun.

那真是一次痛快淋漓的体验。

I I had an absolute blast doing it.

我不是说你第一次玩飞蝇钓就得去追海permit，那简直太折磨人了——permit可是地球上最难用飞蝇竿钓到的鱼之一。

And I'm not telling you that you need to go out and your first fly fishing experience needs to be chasing permit because that would be miserable to do to someone for their first time because those are probably the toughest fish on the planet to catch on a fly rod permit.

就算不是最难的，也绝对是顶尖难的那一批。

If not the toughest, they're one of the toughest.

但我想告诉你，如果你一直在盯着鳟鱼，老是钓不到，开始怀疑自己：‘我是不是根本不会飞蝇钓？’——那你真该换个地方试试。

But I am telling you that if you're focused on trout, you're getting your butt kicked a little bit, you're starting to doubt your abilities, you're like, I don't know if I can do this, but can I really catch anything on a fly rod?

去个有太阳鱼的池塘，挂个干蝇加坠子的组合，保准你钓到的蓝鳃太阳鱼多到都不知道怎么处理。

Go to a pond that's got some sunfish in it, put a dry dropper rig on, and you're gonna catch more bluegill than you know what to do with that way.

当然，钓大一点的蓝鳃太阳鱼也有讲究，但你只要在干蝇下面挂个小小的王子浮虫、斑马虫，或者带珠子的任何小饵，就能练抛投、练控线、练提竿、练遛鱼。

Not to say that there's not an art to catch in some of the bigger bluegill, but you put like a little prince dimf or zebra midge or anything with a bead on it under a dry fly and you can work on your casting, you can work on a little bit of presentation, you can work on hook sets, you can work on fighting fish.

这些在蓝鳃太阳鱼身上练的本事，全都能直接用在鳟鱼上。

There's all these skills that you can work on with bluegill that are also gonna translate to trout.

明白吗？

K?

而且这也能极大提升信心，因为你真的会发现：原来我确实能钓到鱼。

And then it's a great confidence builder too because then you see, oh, I actually can do this.

我真能用飞蝇竿钓到鱼。

I actually can catch fish on a fly rod.

去河边钓鱼时，这种信心会帮你不少，毕竟河里钓鱼通常比湖里难，水流多、线控也更复杂。

Gives you a little bit of a confidence boost when you go to the river, which it's generally a bit tougher to fish in rivers than lakes, think, just because you've got so much movement, you've got so much more line management to worry about.

湖里钓鱼确实难找鱼、难定位，但河里钓鱼对新手来说，更多是线控带来的独特挑战。

I think lake fishing, it is harder to find the fish and harder to dial in where they are at, but I think river fishing presents a little bit more of a unique challenge just with all the line management, especially for first timers.

这算是一种不错的练习方式。

You know, so that's one that's one one thing you can do.

你也可以去黑鲈池塘，扔个拟饵或小鱼饵，练练抛投、找结构，观察黑鲈喜欢待在哪儿，再练练抽线刺鱼的技巧。

You can also go to the bass pond, you could throw a clows or minnow on, and then you can work on casting that and identifying structure, you know, looking for the places bass like to hang out, practice strip setting on streamers.

这是另一种提升信心的好办法，之后再回河里钓鳟鱼，就会顺手多了。

That's another way that you can kind of build some confidence and then go back to trout in the river.

但归根结底，还是为了让你在水边更有信心。

But really, just goes back down to giving you confidence on the water.

我觉得专注于一件事，确实有它的道理。

And I do think there's probably something to be said for focusing just on one thing.

如果你的目标是在河里用飞蝇钓竿钓鳟鱼，那就把精力都花在这上面。

You wanna catch trout in a river on a fly rod and you're gonna spend your time putting work into that.

我觉得这没什么不好。

I don't think that's a bad idea.

但我知道，刚入门的时候，我特别希望有些轻松的日子，能让我实实在在地钓到鱼，从而相信自己真的能用飞蝇竿钓到鱼。

But I know especially as a beginner, I would have loved some easier days on the water when I started where they they could have reinforced the the idea that I actually can catch fish on a fly rod.

如果一开始就能有这种体验，我觉得会很有帮助。

That would have been really helpful to have early on, I think.

所以我才跟你说，这可能会有帮助。

So that's why I'm telling you it could help.

我不确定会不会，但你也别把自己局限住。

I don't know if it will, but also just don't limit yourself.

明白吗？

K?

因为除了鳟鱼之外，水里还有很多别的鱼可钓。

Because there's a lot more out there besides just trout.

这话从我这个热爱鳟鱼钓鱼的人嘴里说出来，你可别不信。

And this is coming from a guy who love I love trout fishing.

我之所以住在这片荒郊野外，就是因为这里的鳟鱼钓鱼太棒了。

Like, I live where I do in the middle of nowhere because the trout fishing is so good.

我老婆那时候，我们找房子，我一看到不合适的地方就说：不行，离山太远了。

And my wife was you know, we when we were looking for houses, we were looking and I'm like, no, that's too far from the mountains.

离河太远了。

That's too far from the river.

离这儿或那儿都太远了。

That's too far from this or whatever.

我确实爱鳟鱼钓鱼，但其他类型的钓鱼也一样让人上瘾。

I I love trout fishing, but all the other stuff is a blast too.

所以，别小看了用飞蝇竿能带来的那种体验。

So don't shortchange the experience you can have on a fly rod either.

希望这些话能帮上你。

So hopefully that helps.

希望你们能从中找到一些真正能记住、对你有帮助的内容。

Hopefully, y'all grab something in there that's gonna stick with you, help you out.
