如何制作适用于任何河流的飞蝇盒 | 第183集

你有没有一个装满本地溪流常用蝇饵的飞盒？

Do you have a fly box that's stuffed with go to patterns for your local creek?

还有一个专门装你每年只去一两次的尾水水域才用的蝇饵？

And do you have another one that's full of all the patterns you need to fish that tailwater that you only visit once or twice a year?

咱们坦白说一句。

Now, let's be honest for a sec.

你上一次把那些蝇饵全用过一遍是什么时候？

When's the last time you used every single one of those patterns?

其中有多少只是用来图个心理安慰？

How many of them are really just there for emotional support?

你有没有想过，这些蝇饵其实只是拖累你的背包，让你找真正需要的蝇饵都费劲？

And how often do you think, man, these are just weighing my pack down and making it tough for me to find the fly that I actually want?

我觉得，一个好飞盒的关键不在于蝇饵种类多。

I actually think that the secret to a good fly box isn't just tons of variety.

而在于覆盖那些主要水生昆虫的各个生命阶段。

Instead, it's about hitting every life cycle stage of those major aquatic insects.

你的石蝇、石蛾、蜉蝣和小飞虫。

Your stoneflies, your caddis, your mayflies, and your midges.

在90%的鳟鱼垂钓场景里，我常用的就只是每种虫子的几种仿制饵。

A few imitations of each of those are about all I ever reach for in 90% of trout fishing situations.

所以今天在《Untangled》里，我会分享更多关于如何挑选鱼饵、搭配鱼盒的技巧，让你出门钓鱼不用背一整个渔具店。

So today on Untangled, I'll share more about this approach to picking flies and putting a box together so that you can hit the water without hauling an entire fly shop with you.

这是《Untangled》，为所有钓鱼人打造的飞蝇钓节目，由Ventures Fly Co.冠名呈现。

This is untangled, fly fishing for everyone, presented by Ventures Fly Co.

大家好。

Hey, everybody.

欢迎收看。

Welcome to it.

这里是《Untangled》，我是主持人斯宾塞·杜兰。

This is untangled, and I am your host, Spencer Durant.

每周能在这里和大家见面，我都特别开心。

Happy to be here just like I am every week.

在我们开始做这个节目之前，我根本没怎么想过这个话题，但现在得好好聊聊了。

And we gotta chat a little bit about a topic that really wasn't high on my radar until we started doing this show.

这些年我们一直在做这个节目，说起来还是有点不习惯，总觉得说‘我们做了好几年’怪怪的，说实话。

Because over the years that we've been doing this, and it feels it still feels weird to say that we've been doing this show for years, because it really honestly feels like I don't know.

感觉就像昨天才刚起步一样。

It feels like it just started it yesterday.

完全不觉得已经过了三年半了，或者差不多这么久。

It does not feel like it's been, what, like three and a half years now or whatever.

总之，这些年做节目下来，我们收到很多问题，内容差不多都是：我该怎么安排我的蝇饵盒？

Anyways, over the years, as we've been doing this show, we we have gotten a lot of questions, some variation of what's the best way to set up or organize my fly boxes?

该按钓鱼的水型来分，比如尾水、春溪或者自由河流？还是按蝇饵模仿的水生昆虫种类分？或者按大小、颜色来分？

Should I organize them by the the type of water that I'm fishing, like tailwaters or spring creeks or freestones or should I organize them by the the species of aquatic insect that they represent or do I organize them by size or color or whatever?

特别是那种按你去钓的河流类型来分类的想法——比如尾水、春溪或者自由河流，不知道的人可能不清楚，这些只是不同类型的河流。

And specifically that idea of organizing them by our by what kind of river you're gonna fish, whether it's a tailwater, a spring creek, or a freestone, which for those who don't know, that's just different types of rivers out there.

不是每条河都是一样的。

Not every river is the same.

你的自由溪流主要靠融雪和降雨补给。

So your freestones are fed primarily by snow and rain.

溪泉河则是从地下涌出的泉水形成的，而坝下河则是从水坝下方流出的河流。

Your spring creeks are fed by springs coming up from under the ground, and then your tailwaters are the rivers that come out from beneath the dam.

用这种方式整理钓箱——这个是坝下河专用，这个是溪泉河专用，这个是自由溪流专用——其实也没错。

And there's nothing wrong with that approach of setting up a box that's, okay, this is my tailwater box, this is my Spring Creek box, and this is my Freestone box.

但我也不觉得这是最有效的整理方式，因为我当初刚入行的时候，也走过这条路。

But I also don't think that that's necessarily the most effective way to put a fly box together because I went down that rabbit hole myself when I was really getting into this.

结果就是，我把钓箱整理好，结果只填了四分之一，全是手头现有的蝇饵，然后为了填满空位，要么去买，要么自己绑一大堆蝇饵，因为看到空钓箱我就焦虑。

And what ended up happening is I would put the box together and it'd be like a quarter full just with the flies that I had on hand, and then I would either go buy or tie a bajillion flies to fill the space because an empty fly box gives me anxiety.

总觉得，不行，我蝇饵不够。

Feels like, no, I don't have enough flies.

今天肯定钓不到鱼。

I'm not gonna catch anything.

结果你到河边一钓，一整天就用帕拉丘斯蜉蝣和斑马中蝇，照样没问题。

And then you go to the river and you fish a parachute atoms and a zebra midge all day and fine.

但实际情况还真是这样，我往这些盒子里塞了一堆根本用不上的 flies，说实话，除非遇到特别难钓的日子，我才翻箱倒柜地瞎抓一把，看能不能碰巧中一个。

But it would really happen like that though, where I would go and stock these boxes with flies that just never got used, honestly, unless I was just pulling a bunch of flies out of the box and trying to throw something at the wall to see what sticks on those really tough days.

更别说，除了这些几乎从不使用的 flies，我还得时刻提醒自己别在装车时漏掉哪个盒子，最后干脆把所有盒子全塞进背包里，心想：算了，全带着吧，省得忘。

And on top of that, you know, on top of all these flies that I very rarely use, I also had all these boxes that I needed to not forget when I was loading the car up for a trip, or I would I eventually just went into just shoving them all in my pack and just saying, alright, I'm gonna carry them all with me so I never forget them.

结果背包越来越沉，越来越重，简直让人受不了。

And then it gets really annoying how big and heavy your pack gets.

而且想找特定的 flies 时特别麻烦，得翻遍所有盒子，还得拼命回想：两个月前我做这个盒子的时候，到底把那个关键的 fly 放哪儿了？

And then it's tough to find the exact fly that you're looking for because then you've gotta dig through all these boxes and trying to remember, alright, where is exactly that missing link that I put in here two months ago when I built this box out?

我觉得，这种按水域类型来整理 fly 盒子的方式，确实有不少明显的缺点。

And I think what I really so so those are some of the big drawbacks of this approach of building a box out based on the type of water that you're gonna go fish.

当然，这也不是说它有什么不对，只是我觉得还有更高效、更有目的性的做法。

Again, nothing wrong with it, but I think there's ways to be more effective and more intentional with it.

我其实不该说‘这让我很烦’，听起来好像我很生气似的。

And what I what I think really I shouldn't say, like, oh, it bugs me because that makes it sound like I'm pissed about it.

但我真没有生气。

I'm not.

但我真正不喜欢这种做法的是，带着一大堆蝇饵，还觉得自己今天啥都有了。

But what what I what I think I dislike about that approach of just having tons of flies and then feeling like, alright, I've got a thousand flies with me today.

我觉得肯定没问题。

I'm gonna be fine.

我全齐了。

I'm covered.

随时可以出发。

I'm good to go.

这种感觉不够有针对性。

It doesn't feel as intentional.

好像我并没有真正运用自己的钓鱼技巧去应对眼前的实际情况。

Like, I'm applying my abilities as an angler to the situation that's there in front of me.

确实有过一些日子，甚至最近还有，我根本钓不到鱼，不是因为我做得对、用心观察，而是纯粹靠运气。

Because there have been days, some of them very recently, where I have been extremely lucky to catch any fish at all Instead of catching fish because I I was actually doing all the right things, I was actually engaged and paying attention.

明白了。

K.

举个例子，几周前，我正开车去犹他州，准备和我的商业伙伴亚历克斯还有VFC的其他团队成员会合。

Just to give you an example, a few weeks ago, I'm on my way down to Utah to go meet up with Alex, my business partner here at VFC, and the rest of the crew.

我们打算好好干点活儿。

We're gonna get some work done.

半路上我停下来钓鱼，当时用的是皇家紫飞蝇，下面还带了一只法式 nymph，就在那些小水窝里轻轻漂着。

And I stopped to fish, and I'm down there just throwing a I had a royal flush on with a Frenchie underneath it, and I was just drifting through these little pockets.

那一段漂移持续了五到十分钟，啥动静都没有，可岸边的一点动静却吸引了我的注意。

And it was one of those drifts where nothing had happened for, five, ten minutes, and something on the bank caught my attention.

你知道的，我特别容易分心——这点估计老听众早就习惯了——于是我扭头看岸边，又抬头看天，再望向远处的山。

And because, you know, I'm easily distracted, which I'm sure surprises longtime listeners of this show, I looked over at the bank, and then I looked up at the sky, and then I looked up at the mountains.

我心里想：今天这景色真美啊。

I thought, oh, it's really pretty today.

等我想找我的飞蝇时，却发现哪儿都看不见了。

And then I tried to find my fly, and I couldn't see it anywhere.

我当时就纳闷：这事儿有点怪啊。

And I'm like, oh, that that's weird.

我的蝇饵去哪儿了？

Where where'd my fly go?

然后我感觉到一股拉力。

And then I feel this tug.

我心想，哎呀，该提竿了。

I'm like, oh, oh, I I should probably set the hook.

我一提竿，果然钓上来一条十九英寸的褐鳟。

So I set the hook, and sure enough, it was like a 19 inch brown.

纯属运气。

Completely by luck.

我根本没觉得这鱼是我钓到的。

I didn't I didn't feel like I'd earned that fish.

完全是碰巧。

It was 100% luck.

抓到这条鳟鱼一点技术含量都没有，我当时根本没留意，是它自己上钩的。

No skill involved in catching that trout because I wasn't paying attention to anything that was going on and he hooked himself.

嗯？

K?

我得说，运气好确实比技术好更爽，但我还是希望觉得自己是靠本事钓到那条鱼的。

And I I will say that being lucky is definitely better than being good, but I do like to feel like I earned that fish.

我想感受到自己作为一名钓鱼人真正做到了该做的事——拉近了我和鱼之间的距离，成功模仿了自然，让鱼真的以为我的假饵是活的，要么没注意到我，要么根本不在乎我。

I want to feel like I have done what I needed to do as an angler, that I have closed the gap between me and the fish, that I have successfully imitated nature in a way that the fish believes my fly is real and either doesn't notice that I'm there or doesn't care that I'm there.

那种感觉，才是我每次出去用飞蝇竿钓鱼时真正追求的东西。

I want that's that feeling that I'm personally chasing when I'm going out and trying to catch a fish on a fly rod.

所以当我像那样靠运气钓到鱼的时候，就觉得这鱼不是我钓到的。

So when when I catch fish like that, where it was all luck, don't feel like I earned it.

对吧？

Right?

我不想说，哦，我钓到了这条鱼。

I don't wanna say, oh, yeah, I caught this fish.

是的。

Yeah.

嗯，鱼是钓上来了，但我没付出什么努力去赢得它。

Well, yeah, I caught it, but I didn't do anything to earn it.

正因如此，我才从以前那种只管多带飞蝇的思路，转变成现在更用心地挑选携带的飞蝇，因为我想在每一个环节都保持刻意和专注。

And that's what really made me make the move from that that standpoint of just stock the boxes as many flies as I can to being more intentional with what flies I carry with me, because I wanna be intentional about every part of this process.

我想真正参与其中。

I want to be involved.

我想用上自己的技术，嗯，就说是技术吧。

I want to be using my skills and, you know, we'll say my skills.

对吧？

Right?

我的抛投水平顶多算中等。

I'm a middling caster at best.

我充其量也就算个普通钓手。

I'm probably an average angler at best.

我平时也没跟多少人一起钓鱼，所以还真不知道自己算什么水平。

I don't I don't fish with a whole lot of people, so I don't know where to compare myself to.

我平时一个人钓鱼比较多。

I I do a lot of fishing solo.

但我可不是在说，我的技术有多了不起。

But, you know, I'm not sitting here saying, well, my skills, they are impeccable.

如果你哪天来我在坎特伯雷的家，或许能看见我怎么在修剪整齐的草坪上钓放养的鳟鱼——但别当真。

And, you know, if you ever come down to my estate in Canterbury, you might be able to see just how incredible they are as we fish for stock trout on my mowed lawns.

不是的。

No.

根本不是。

No.

我只是想用上我现在掌握的那些技术和经验，不管水平高低，尽我所能去钓鱼，让整个过程真正公平、有挑战性。

That's not I'm just, you know, I wanna use what skills and knowledge I currently have, and I wanna use those to the best of my abilities, whatever level those may be, to catch the fish doing doing everything I can to actually make it fair chase.

我觉得这才是关键所在。

I think that's the other way of of thinking about it.

所以，我才从以前那种带一大堆 fly 的做法，转变成现在更用心地挑选每一种 fly。

And so that's what's really made me move from all the flies to being much more intentional about my fly selection.

明白吗？

K?

另一个好处是，当我缩小了蝇饵的选择范围后，花在绑蝇和买蝇上的钱也少了。

One other pro towards this as well is when I've narrowed down my fly selection, I am spending less money on tying flies and buying flies.

这确实是个很大的优势。

So that has been a big pro as well.

但具体该怎么做呢？

But what exactly does this look like?

明白吗？

K?

理论上听起来挺不错的。

In theory, it sounds nice.

下水时别带太多蝇饵，但问题又来了——你总会担心带得不够，心里直打鼓。

Well, don't take as many flies with you in the water, but then we go back to that anxiety over not having enough flies and feeling like, oh, crap.

今天怕是一条鱼都钓不到了。

I'm not gonna catch anything today.

这确实是一个很现实的担忧。

And that really is that's a legitimate fear.

如果你老是纠结这个，很可能会影响你钓鱼的状态。

And I think if you get in your head about it, it can affect and impact the way that you fish.

对我来说，做法就是不再过分纠结于针对溪流或春溪的特定蝇型，而是专注于那些经得起考验的经典款，模拟我们主要的水生昆虫。

So what this looks like for me is I focus a lot less on having patterns that are specific for a tailwater or specific for a spring creek, and instead, I just want tried and true classic representations of our major aquatic insects.

比如石蛾、小飞虫、蜉蝣和石蝇。

You know, our caddis, our midges, our mayflies, and our stoneflies.

这正是我在整理和搭配蝇盒时最看重的。

And and that's that's really what I try to focus on in stocking and creating these boxes.

如果你不知道我说的石蛾、小飞虫、蜉蝣和石蝇是什么，我们其实出了一本完整的野外指南。

So and if if you don't know what I'm talking about when I say caddis and midges and mayflies and stoneflies, we've actually got an entire field guide.

这是一本实体书，完全防水，螺旋装订。

It's a physical book that completely waterproof, spiral bound.

能轻松放进你的钓鱼包里。

It fits in your fishing pack.

里面详细介绍了这些水生昆虫。

It's got all this stuff about these aquatic insects in it.

你可以翻看，回想一下，哦，对，这就是石蛾的样子。

So you can take a look at them and remember, oh, yeah, this is what a caddis looks like.

这就是摇蚊的样子。

This is what a midge looks like.

这个指南最棒的地方是，完全免费。

And the best part about this field guide, completely free.

你只需要付点邮费，就能收到。

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

我们希望你下水时能有这些信息，让你钓鱼更顺利。

We want you to have this info when you're out there on the water so you can have a better day.

如果你想拿一本，节目说明里有链接，或者你正在看视频播客，屏幕这里也有。

So if you want to grab a copy of that, there's a link to do that in the show notes or right here on the screen, you're watching the video podcast.

而且，还是完全免费的。

And again, completely free.

你只需要付运费，它就会送到你家。

You just pay the shipping to get it to your house.

所以我知道我这是在做什么。

So we know this is what I'm trying to do.

我现在的 fly box 安排是这样的：有一个双面盒装干蝇，放在合并盒里。

So my current setup of fly boxes, what mine currently looks like, is I've got a box of dry flies in a merger, so it's a two sided box.

然后是泡沫蝇和大羽翅蝇，这些怕压坏翅膀，所以我用小分格盒装着。

And then I've got a box of foam flies and bigger hackled flies where I don't want the hackle to get crushed, and that's in a little compartment box.

再就是大 nymph 的盒子，还有小 nymph 的盒子。

And then I've got a box of large nymphs and then a box of small nymphs.

一共就四个盒子。

So four boxes total.

出门钓鱼，我就带这四盒就够了。

That is all I carry with me out on the water.

除非是去湖上一整天，那时候我会另外带一个装流蝇、水蛭和摇蚊的盒子。

Unless I'm spending a day out on the lake, then I've got a separate box of streamers, leeches, and chironomids.

但我去湖边的时间没去河边多，所以九成时间我出门就带这四个盒子。

But I don't spend as much time on lakes as I do on rivers, so 90% of the time, I'm out there with those four boxes.

这些盒子里的蝇饵种类其实不多，但大小和颜色的搭配很丰富。

And within all of those boxes, I have a pretty small selection of patterns overall, but I've got a lot of variation in size and color.

所以我主要靠不同尺寸来变化，比如一排十二号的降落伞干蝇，再一排十四号、十六号、十八号、二十号的。

So that's where my variety really comes in, is I'll have a row of size twelve parachute atoms, and a row of size fourteens, and sixteens, and eighteens, and twenties.

同一尺寸里，我还会放一些颜色浅一点的，一些深一点的，就是想多点选择，好匹配当时的情况，但本质上还是同一个蝇型。

And then within those, I'll have some that are lighter the lighter atoms, some that are darker, you know, just just try to give myself some opportunities to match a little bit of what's going on, but it's still mostly the same pattern.

明白吗？

K?

这样当我去溪流或者排水口钓鱼时，那边的蝇虫普遍偏小，鱼也更挑食，我手里的蝇饵大小和形状就更对得上。

That way, when I do go fish a spring creek or I go hit a tailwater where the flies tend to be a bit smaller and the fish are definitely much more selective, then I've got flies that are probably the right size and shape.

明白吗？

K?

因为我更看重尺寸的覆盖，而不是搞一大堆不同的蝇型。

Because I have I focus on sizes and not so much a bajillion different patterns.

我想要同一种饵有很多不同的尺寸。

I want a lot of sizes of the same stuff.

我不用操心是不是在渔具店看到过那种号称专门对付尾水区的饵。

I don't have to worry about whether I've got this one pattern that I saw in a fly shop that's marketed as perfect for tailwaters.

好的。

K.

我不需要那种饵，因为我已经有适合尾水区的了，就是小一点的尺寸，颜色可能稍有不同之类的。

I don't need it because I've already got stuff that works for tailwaters because, you know, smaller smaller sizes, different, maybe slightly different colors or whatnot.

抱歉，我刚才说岔了。

I've already excuse me.

我箱子里早就备好了。

I've got those in the box.

再举个例子，大概一个月前，我去了一条我特别喜欢的尾水区钓鱼，那里以小饵和极其挑剔的鱼出名。

So and and just to drive this point home, about a month ago, I was out on a tailwater that I love to fish, and it's known for really small flies and really picky fish.

那地方的鱼难钓到连科罗拉多的鱼都显得好对付了。

Like this place makes Colorado's fish look easy.

这个地方的鱼可真难钓。

That's how tough this place can be.

出发前我确实绑了几只蝇，这在我现在来说还挺少见的。

And I did tie up a few flies before that trip started, which is kind of rare for me these days.

我最近很少在出行前专门绑蝇了。

I don't I don't tie as much before trips.

我就是每周挑几个晚上绑几只，补补丢掉的而已。

I just kind of tie, you know, a couple nights a week and just restock stuff that I lost.

但这次出发前，我真坐下来认真绑了一通。

But I actually sat down before this trip and tied.

十年前，我肯定会上网搜最棒的蓝翅膀橄榄浮虫和超酷的摇蚊图案。

And ten years ago, I would have been googling really great blue winged olive emerger patterns and really cool midge patterns.

那时候，我就是想要那种心理上的安全感——我蝇够多了，心里踏实。

And then again, that was that I wanted that emotional safety net of I've got enough flies, I'm fine.

可现在，算了，我不这么干了，就用那些经得起考验的老办法。

And instead, nope, I'm just backing away going with the tried and true stuff.

那些一直对我有效的饵料。

The stuff that always works for me.

所以我只做了格里菲斯蝇、闪亮蝇、毛绒小蝇，还有小号的降落伞式蜉蝣。

So all I tied were Griffiths nets, sparkles done, mats midges, and smaller parachute atoms.

这些都是我平时常备的饵料。

They're all the stuff that I've got on the regular.

我只是需要比平时更小的尺寸，所以这次特地做了几组小号的。

I just needed them in smaller sizes than I usually carry, so I tied up those smaller sizes for that trip.

当然，我也明白另一面的说法。

Now, I do I do see the other side of this.

我知道肯定会有人提出不同意见。

I'd see there's gonna be some pushback.

咱们不妨仔细想想这一点。

So let's look at that for a second.

明白吗？

Okay?

你卖的这些蝇饵图案，背后都是像查理·克雷文、布莱恩·巧克力、凯利·加洛普、帕特·多西、兰斯·伊根这样顶尖的钓手，他们特别聪明，经验丰富，不断推出新蝇饵，总在琢磨怎么改进、怎么做得更好。

You got all these fly patterns for sale, and you've got guys like Charlie Craven and Blaine Chocolate and Kelly Gallop, Pat Dorsey, Lance Eagan, really, really smart anglers, really accomplished fellas, consistently coming up with new fly patterns, consistently to thinking how do we improve this, how do we make it better.

他们的设计确实管用，质量很高。

And obviously their patterns work, they're good.

我用过兰斯的一些蝇饵。

I use some of Lance's patterns.

凯利的那些，我平时经常用。

I use some of Kelly's patterns all the time.

要是这些蝇饵不管用、不有效，早就不会在全国各地的渔具店和目录里出现了。

And they wouldn't they wouldn't still be in fly shops and catalogs all over the country if they didn't work, if they weren't effective.

我从Instagram上看过帕特·多西的蝇饵盒，抱歉，我插一句。

And I certainly know from seeing Pat Dorsey's fly boxes on Instagram that excuse me.

不好意思，我打断一下。

I'm just excuse me.

抱歉。

Sorry.

我刚从病中恢复过来，还在重新适应说话。

I'm just getting over being sick, so I'm still still getting used to talking again.

但从Instagram上看到帕特·多西的蝇饵盒，我就知道他备了大量不同款式，能应对各种情况，真的很厉害。

But I know from from seeing Pat Dorsey's fly boxes on Instagram that he's got tons of different patterns to match anything and everything possible, and it's really cool.

而且这些人真的都很棒。

And, again, these guys are great guys.

他们是顶尖的钓鱼高手。

They're great anglers.

他们在钓鱼领域算得上是领军人物。

They're leaders in the sport some way in some ways.

那我干嘛坐在这儿说，好吧。

So why would I sit here and say, okay.

他们的蝇饵确实很酷，也确实有效，但你其实用不着他们做的每一种饵。

Well, their flies are cool and you don't they work, but you don't really need all of the flies that they that they make.

我觉得最好的解释方式是这样。

Well, I think the best way to explain it is like this.

明白吗？

K?

有一集《Top Gear》的老节目。

There's this old episode of Top Gear.

是极地特辑。

It's the polar special.

如果你从来没看过《Top Gear》，它是个汽车节目，三个朋友——克拉克森、梅和汉蒙德——开着车去各种疯狂冒险，纯粹为了玩得开心。

And if you've never seen Top Gear before, it's a car show where three friends, Clarkson, May, and Hammond, they go out and they go on crazy adventures with cars and and just try to have fun with cars.

这集的主题是他们要比赛谁先到北极，汉蒙德坐狗拉雪橇，克拉克森和梅则开一辆改装过的丰田海拉克斯，看是雪橇快还是卡车快。

And the gist of this special was they were going to race to the North Pole, and Hammond was going to be on a dog sled, and then Clarkson and May were taking a modified super cool Toyota Hilux, and they were gonna race dog sled versus truck to see who could get to the North Pole first.

他们对同一个问题采取了两种完全不同的方式。

And they came at that two very different approaches to the same problem.

明白吗？

K?

一边是专为极地旅行设计的高科技卡车，拍摄时最先进的装备，样样俱全；另一边是传统的狗拉雪橇，老派装备。

Specialized truck designed for Arctic travel, top of the line tech at the time they filmed this, really nice, everything you could want, and then old school tech with the dog sled.

我觉得梅和克拉克森在卡车里肯定比在狗拉雪橇上舒服多了，但我也觉得哈蒙德坐雪橇的经历特别酷。

And I I do think that may and Clarkson were probably much more comfortable on their trip because they were in the truck and not on the dog sled, but I also think Hammond's experience with the dog sled was pretty stinking cool too.

当然了，他们都极力维护自己选择的出行方式。

You know, and, of course, they all defended each method of travel they took.

哈蒙德说，狗拉雪橇才是更好的旅行方式。

You know, Hammond said the dog sled was the better way to travel.

虽然他输掉了比赛，但效率其实更高。

It was more effective even though he did lose the race.

而克拉克森和梅则坚持说，不对。

And then Clarkson and May were saying, no.

卡车明显更胜一筹。

The truck's obviously superior.

但归根结底，他们达成了同样的目标。

But at the end of the day, they accomplished the same goal.

穿越北极地区。

Traveling across the Arctic.

这就是目标。

That was the goal.

没错。

Yes.

他们想赢比赛，但真正的目标是高效穿越北极，而他们确实做到了。

They wanted to win the race, but traveling efficiently across the Arctic was the goal, and they accomplished that.

虽然克拉克森和梅赢了比赛，但说实话，这比赛一开始就不公平——卡车对狗拉雪橇，卡车赢太正常了。

And even though, you know, Clarkson and May, they won the race, I think don't it was all that fair to begin with because truck versus dog sled, yeah, you truck's gonna win.

明白吗？

K?

我选这个当比喻，是因为不管你个人更倾向卡车还是狗拉雪橇，最终你都完成了穿越北极这个目标。

But I I picked this to be the metaphor here because regardless of whether you would personally take the truck or the dog sled, you're still accomplishing that that goal of traveling across the Arctic.

你实现的，就是这个目标。

That that that's the goal that you're accomplishing.

重要的不是你去哪儿，而是你怎么去。

It's really not so much about getting where you're going, but it's about how you're getting there.

我觉得飞蝇钓在很大程度上也是同样的道理。

And I I think it's that same thing with fly fishing to a pretty large degree.

尤其是我整理钓具的方式，我特别喜欢限制自己只用一小部分我真正喜欢、信任且效果好的蝇饵，因为这样做让我成了一个更好的钓手。

And especially with how I approach my boxes, how I stock my flies, I really enjoy forcing myself to use a smaller collection of flies that I love, that I have faith in, that work for me, because I I think it's made me a much better angler doing that.

比起过去那些年，我买遍Sportsman's Warehouse里所有的蝇饵、买下每一本蝇饵制作书籍、看遍YouTube上所有的教学视频，还试图模仿所有蝇饵的绑法，好让自己随时应对各种情况，现在的我反而在专注少数几款蝇饵的过程中，看到了更大的个人成长。

I have seen more personal growth for myself doing that than I have during all the years when I bought out every fly bin at Sportsman's Warehouse, and I bought every fly tying book, and I watched every fly tying video on YouTube and tried to tie all these patterns so that I was always ready for everything.

现在我没有了几十种蝇饵作为后路，一旦鱼不咬钩，我就不得不把注意力集中在抛投技巧上，先琢磨怎么把动作练到极致，而不是一上来就怀疑：是不是我选的蝇饵错了？

I I really now that I don't have that fallback of dozens and dozens of patterns to go to when the fish aren't biting, it's really forced me to focus on presentation and dialing that in before thinking about, okay, is this fly choice wrong?

当然，也可能是蝇饵选得不对，但至少我做到了无拖拽的自然漂移。

Well, it it very well might be because I've gotten a drag free drift.

我把蝇饵精准地放到了它该在的位置。

I put this fly right where it needs to be.

我让它看起来尽可能逼真。

I've made it look as real as possible.

明白。

K.

从抛投技巧的角度来看，我大概已经做到了我能做的一切。

There is a very good chance that I've done everything I can from presentation standpoint.

是时候换一下饵了。

It is time to switch the fly out.

当你箱子里有那么多饵的时候，一看到鱼不吃，就忍不住想换饵。

And it's really tempting when you've got all those flies in your box to just switch flies at the first sign of a fish not eating.

哎，换一个饵吧，换个做法。

Just, oh, change fly, do something else.

如果你是节目的老听众，多半知道，问题通常不在饵上。

And most of the time, if you're a longtime listener to the show, you know it's not the fly that's wrong.

问题多半出在抛投方式上。

It's usually the presentation.

通常是你自己哪里做得不对，而不是饵的款式有问题。

It's usually something you're doing that's wrong and not the pattern itself.

所以我想说，我对市场上新出的那些饵，真的非常尊重。

So I guess all this is to say that, yes, I I respect the heck out of all the new flies in the market.

我完全尊重那些愿意花心思设计新蝇饵、不断推陈出新的钓友。

Got nothing but respect for all the anglers who will put the effort into creating these new flies and coming up with new ideas.

看到飞蝇钓领域有这种进步，真的挺有意思的。

It it really is fun to see that sort of progress being made in the fly fishing space.

但我尽量不看到每个新奇的蝇饵就忍不住往盒子里塞。

But I really try not to get sucked into stocking my box with every cool new pattern that I see.

我偶尔还是会试试新的。

I still try new ones now and then.

我是说，对我自己来说是新的。

New to me, I should say.

对吧？

Right?

我直到大概两年前才第一次用过那个‘Missing Link’。

I I'd never fished a missing link until, what, like, two years ago or something like that.

现在它已经慢慢成了我盒子里的常客，因为这蝇饵既有趣又管用。

And now it's a fly that's kinda worked its way into my box because it's just a fun, effective fly.

我也特别喜欢自己动手绑这些飞蝇。

I really enjoy tying them too.

所以这是另一部分原因。

So that's the other part.

只要我喜欢绑某个款式，最后通常都会放进我的盒子。

If I like tying it, it'll usually end up in my box.

但我一直提醒自己，别看到新飞蝇就忍不住往盒子里塞，不如好好用好那些我平时90%都在用的款式。

But I really try not to get sucked into every new fly I see, putting that into my box, and instead just getting the most out of the patterns that I use 90% of the time anyways.

所以，这其实就是我想说的核心建议。

So that that's really my advice out of all this.

选飞蝇要有目的性，别瞎买。

Be intentional about how you stock your fly box.

根据你当地实际的虫情来选，看哪些虫子在飞。

Base your fly choices on the hatches you see, what's local to you.

比如你那儿的蓝翅小飞蝇，可能跟我这儿的就不一样。

You know, your Blue Wing Dolls might look a bit different than mine do out here.

这种情形我经常看到。

And I see that all the time.

我在怀俄明州北部钓到的这些飞蝇，颜色通常比亚历克斯和VFC在犹他州那边用的要浅一点，个头也小一点。

The ones that I get this far north up in Wyoming, they tend to be slightly different shades, little bit smaller than the ones that Alex and the rest of VFC gets down in Utah.

这些昆虫之间本来就有各种差异。

Just there's variation throughout all of these bugs.

所以你要特别留意这些差异。

So really focus on those variations.

关注那些细微的差别。

Focus on those little those little nuances.

根据情况来搭配你的飞蝇箱，但重点是准备多种尺寸和颜色，而不是堆太多不同款式。

You know, stock your box accordingly, but focus on lots of sizes, lots of colors of your flies, unless so about tons of different patterns.

明白吗？

K?

在换飞蝇之前，先努力确保你的漂移足够自然。

Make the effort to get great drifts before you consider changing that fly.

我特别喜欢这种有意识的飞蝇钓法，感觉是自己真下了功夫，而不是随便甩一竿，碰巧钓到了。

I I really enjoy this intentional approach to fly fishing, feeling like, okay, I did this, not, oh, well, I just threw a fly out there and got lucky.

我觉得你也会喜欢这种方式。

I think you will you'll enjoy it as well.

如果你还想更深入地探讨这个想法，可以去看看我们最近做的那期节目，讲的是‘如果只能选十种飞蝇，我会选哪十种’，我们把这个思路又往深了挖了一点。

And if you wanna follow this thought experiment even further, you can actually go take a look at the recent show we did about this, the 10 flies that I would use if I could only pick 10, where we we take this idea and we go even a little bit deeper into it.

大概就是两周前吧。

I think it was two weeks ago or so.

那期节目挺有意思的，讲的是如果非得只带十种飞蝇，我会怎么选。

But it was a it was a fun little show to do about well, if I was forced to pick only 10 flies, these are the ones I would use.

我也会在节目笔记里放上那个视频的链接。

So I'll throw a link to that down in the show notes as well.

如果你觉得我这个观点不对，或者想分享你自己的常用飞蝇清单——现在你的飞蝇盒里都装了些什么，欢迎在评论里留言告诉我们。

But if you think I'm wrong about this topic, if you wanna share your list of go to flies, know, what's in your fly box right now, definitely drop a comment and let us know.

好了，这期节目的开场就到这里，接下来我们进入今天的问答环节。

But that's gonna wrap up the open of the show this week, and now it is time to get into the q and a portion of today's episode.

在《Untangled》这个节目里，每周我们都会用一半的时间直接回答像你这样的听众和观众提出的问题。

And every week here at Untangled, we spend half the show directly answering questions from listeners and viewers just like yourself.

如果你有想解决的飞钓问题，可以在节目说明里找到提交问题的链接，或者如果你是在看视频播客，屏幕这里也有入口。

So if you've got a fly fishing question that you would like answered, there's a link to send those in down in the show notes or right here on the screen if you are watching the video podcast.

来自捷克的菲利普提出了第一个问题，他写道：首先，我非常感谢你们为YouTube视频付出的大量心血。

Philip from The Czech Republic has our first question, writes in and says, first of all, I really appreciate all the work you guys put into your YouTube videos.

这些视频对我帮助特别大。

They've helped me a ton.

我来自捷克，大概一年前开始接触飞钓。

I'm from The Czech Republic and I started fly fishing about a year ago.

在这段学习过程中，我也想试着自己绑 fly，于是就开始跟着你们的教程绑一些经典款，比如pheasant tail、hair's ear，还有chubby Chernobyl。

During that journey, I also wanted to start tying my own flies, so I began tying patterns from your tutorials like the pheasant tail, hair's ear, or the chubby Chernobyl.

但奇怪的是，用这些 fly 怎么都钓不到鱼，直到我开始改绑一些欧洲风格的 fly，比如橙色标 nymph、CDC 蜉蝣和check nymph，突然间就开竿了。

But for some reason, I couldn't catch absolutely anything on them until I started tying more European style flies like the orange tag nymph, CDC caddis, and check nymphs, and suddenly I started catching fish.

这是什么原因呢？

Is there a reason why this is happening?

谢谢。

Thanks.

菲利普，谢谢你发来的消息。

Philip, thanks for the note, man.

你可能是第一个从捷克发来问题的人。

And you might be the first to send something in from the Czech Republic.

我不太确定，但我觉得你应该是第一个。

I'm not sure, but I think you might be the first.

看到Untangled的影响遍及全球，真的特别棒，咱们在飞钓界可是越来越有影响力了。

So it's really really cool to see the the global reach of Untangled as we assert our dominance on global fly fishing.

不是的。

No.

这太好了。

It's it's great.

我很高兴听说你也开始自己绑飞蝇了。

I love to hear that you got into tine flies too.

这真的特别有意思。

It's it's a lot of fun.

一上手你就发现上瘾了，比你想象的厉害多了，整个人都陷进去了。

It's much more addicting than you anticipate or realize getting into it, and then your whole life's lost.

你连路上的动物尸体都开始用新眼光看，比如，哎，这片鹿尸不错。

And you start looking at roadkill differently, like, oh, that's a good patch of deer.

我觉得这个能用上。

I think I could use that.

咦，那是只死野鸡吗？

Or, oh, is that a dead pheasant?

等等。

Wait.

老婆，停一下车。

Honey, pull over.

得拿点野鸡尾巴。

Need the pheasant tails.

当然了，我这可不是凭亲身经历说的。

Of course, I'm not speaking from personal experience at all.

我怎么可能做这种事呢。

I never would do anything like that.

说到你的问题，我第一反应是，因为欧元蝇或者检查 nymph 的特性，它们大多绑在铅笔钩上，用的珠子特别大，而且通常在蝇体下方还会加一段重的无铅金属丝。

My first thought about your question, is that due to the nature of the euro or the check nymphs, a lot of them are tied on jig hooks, they're they use oversized beads, and they'll often be tied with some extra heavy lead free wire underneath the fly as well.

所以它们天生就比我们这里常见的西部风格蝇饵，甚至东海岸风格的蝇饵都要重。

So they're inherently heavier than a lot of the classic western style flies that we tie out here and and even East Coast style flies as well.

我觉得它们比我们这个地区平时绑的蝇饵要重那么一点点。

I think they're just a little bit heavier than what we tie out in this region of the world.

所以它们下沉得更快，更容易快速到达鱼群的攻击层，而且停留的时间也更久。

So I think they're gonna because they're sinking faster than traditional nymphs, they're probably getting down to that strike zone a lot more quickly and they're staying there longer.

这大概就是你用它们钓鱼效果更好的原因。

So that's probably why you're seeing some more success with those.

就是它们能更快沉到鱼待的地方，而且在攻击层里待得更久。

Just they're they're getting down where the fish are quicker and they're staying in that strike zone a little bit longer.

我知道在斯洛文尼亚，至少有一条河，亚历克斯几年前和他妻子去那里过生日时钓过。

And I know that over in Slovenia, at least, there's one river Alex fished it a couple years ago when he and his wife were there for her birthday trip.

他那时完全不能在钓线上用铅坠来让蝇饵下沉，只能靠用特别大又重的蝇饵。

He couldn't use split shot at all on his line to get his nymphs down, so he just had to use a really big heavy nymph.

我认为整个地区的设计理念都差不多，都是往这个方向走的。

So there is a lot of that design philosophy going into nymphs all throughout the region, I believe.

我不太清楚哪里能用、哪里不能用铅坠，但我知道这绝不是斯洛文尼亚独有的规定。

I'm not sure where you can and can't use split shot, but I know that's not a one off regulation for Slovenia.

我知道其他地方也有类似的情况。

I know that does happen elsewhere.

我不确定捷克是不是这样，但不管怎样，用重蝇饵总比用铅坠好，因为能更清楚地感受到水下的动静。

I don't know if that happens in The Czech Republic, but it is always good to just fish heavy flies instead of split shot anyways because you get a lot more feel and feedback from the heavy flies.

铅坠如果没装好，真的很影响蝇饵的自然漂流。

The split shot can be they they can really mess with the drift sometimes if you don't rig it up correctly.

我的建议是，能用钨珠就用钨珠，再在蝇体下面加点无铅金属丝，让蝇饵够重，才能沉得快、停得稳，正好在鱼待着的地方。

So my 2¢, just tie with tungsten beads if you can, add some of that extra lead free wire underneath the body of the fly as well, get those flies heavy so that they sink down and stay where the fish are hanging out.

至于干蝇，效果就好多了，你提到过那个胖胖的切尔诺贝利和CDC石蛾。

Now as for the dried flies, it worked better because you mentioned that chubby Chernobyl and then the CDC caddis.

胖胖的切尔诺贝利没用，但CDC石蛾却很管用。

The chubby didn't work, but the CDC caddis did.

我不敢百分百确定，不过我觉得，胖胖的切尔诺贝利在你当地的河里可能根本不像任何昆虫，至少你用的时候不是。

I'm not a 100% sure on that one, but my guess is the chubby Chernobyl just doesn't imitate much of anything on your local river, at least maybe not at the time you were using it.

它确实是很好的陆生昆虫仿生蝇。

It's a really good terrestrial imitation.

你用的是蚱蜢。

So you're grasshoppers.

它模仿蚱蜢特别到位。

It's a great grasshopper imitation.

还有很多基于胖胖设计的石蛾仿生蝇，不过我对捷克的河流实在了解不多。

There's even a lot of chubby derived stonefly imitations as well, but again, I don't I don't know really much at all about the rivers in The Czech Republic.

所以我不清楚你们那儿的石蛾情况怎么样。

So I don't know what your stonefly situation's like.

很可能你用Chubby的时候，鱼根本没在吃它模仿的那种东西。

It's just very possible that it it wasn't imitating anything that the fish were currently eating when you were using the chubby out there on the water.

不过你提到，CDC石蛾干蝇确实帮你钓到鱼了。

But you did say that the CDC caddis caught you some fish on a dry fly.

我觉得CDC石蛾根本算不上欧式干蝇，但它之所以有效，是因为石蛾是全球最丰富的水生昆虫之一。

I I don't think I would consider the CDC caddis a Euro style dry fly at all, but I think the reason the caddis worked for you is that caddisflies, they are one of the most abundant aquatic insects in the whole world.

它们的数量可能比我在《Untangled》里说‘我爱翅膀’的片段还多。

There's almost more of them than there are clips of me saying that I love wings in Untangled.

真的，它们就是这么普遍。

So they they really are.

几乎每一条鳟鱼溪流里都有它们的身影。

They're in almost every trout stream in the world.

所以石蛾干蝇能钓到鱼，我一点都不意外，这本来就是个万能选择。

So it's really not a surprise to me that the caddis dry fly worked for you because they're they're just a great go to.

只要是有鱼、准确说是鳟鱼的地方，它们几乎无处不在，鱼早就习惯了看到石蛾。

They're so prevalent everywhere fish or used or trout, pardon me, are used to seeing caddisflies.

所以我觉得这就是它有效的原因。

So that I would think that's why that worked.

这其实又回到了我们几分钟前聊的话题。

And really, this just ties back into what we're talking about a few minutes ago.

对吧？

Right?

只要模仿那四大类水生昆虫，你就基本不会出错。

Mimic those main groups of aquatic insects, the the big four, and you're you're gonna be fine.

希望这个回答解决了你的疑问。

So hopefully, that answers your question.

谢谢你发来这个问题。

Appreciate you sending it in.

谢谢。

Thanks.

来自犹他州的科里有下一个问题，他写道：各位好。

Corey from Utah has our next question, writes in and says, good day, gents.

我玩飞钓才六个月左右。

I have only been fishing fly fishing for about six months.

春天和夏天快到了，我听说了‘湿涉’这个词。

Spring and summer are coming about and I hear of the term wet wading.

我想问一下，该穿什么样的鞋子和袜子？

My question is, what are the right type of shoes and socks to be worn?

我还是该穿涉水靴配袜子，还是直接穿凉鞋就行？

Do I still wear my wading boots and something with them, or am I rocking a pair of strap sandals?

任何建议都帮大忙了。

Any insight would be helpful.

谢谢。

Thanks.

科里，我们这儿有最对口的解答吗？

Corey, do we have the absolute right help for you?

去年我们专门拍过一个视频，讲怎么准备和装备湿涉。

We actually did an entire video last year about wet waiting and getting all set up and geared up for that.

我会在节目笔记里附上那个视频链接，方便你和其他感兴趣的人观看。

I'll link that in the show notes for you and anyone else who wants to give that wet wading video a look.

但说实话，穿什么全看你自己喜欢。

But honestly, you wear whatever you want.

那条视频下的评论和反馈里，很多人说，对，我就穿洞洞鞋和短裤，照样湿蹚，这就够了。

A lot of folks in the comments of that video and feedback we got from it said, yeah, I just wear Crocs and shorts and I'm wet wading and and that's all I need.

我有点怀疑洞洞鞋这说法，毕竟那鞋满是孔洞，沙子、石子、泥土全往里钻，光脚踩着一整天，根本没法受。

I kinda doubt the the Crocs part because Crocs have holes in them and sand and rocks and dirt go through the holes, and then you're standing on that and you're bare feet and that's just not comfortable all day long.

除非你蹚的是那种底部全是光滑大理石的河——要是真有这种地方，麻烦告诉我一声。

So unless they're just wading a river that's a perfect marble bottom, which if you have that, please let me know.

我真想去看看。

I'd love to come see it.

一整天这么蹚，肯定特别不舒服。

It's gonna be uncomfortable to to do that all day long.

所以我和亚历克斯，还有VFC整个团队，通常都穿速干型涉水裤，配上平时穿防水裤时用的涉水靴，再加一双尼龙防水袜。

So what Alex and I like to do, whatever the whole team here at VFC likes to do as well, is just grab a pair of quick dry wading pants, and then the same wading boots that I wear with my waders, and then a pair of neoprene wading socks.
