The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing by Mark Kurlansky

马克·科尔兰斯基《飞钓不可思议的益处》

Like all of Mark Kurlansky’s books, The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing is a deep dive into a subject the author finds fascinating. Kurlanksy’s observations aren’t just about the fly fishers, but about the fish themselves. He is deeply in love with the complexities of the sport and the battle between fish and fishermen, and his book is a combination of love letter and sport history. A very fun read!

Trout: An Illustrated History by James Prosek

詹姆斯·普罗塞克《图解鳟鱼历史》

If you want to catch a trout, you need to know as much as you can about it—how it looks, where it eats, what part of the water it likes, and much more about its behavior and evolutionary history. Prosek’s lavishly illustrated book features original watercolors alongside a fascinating natural history of the fish themselves.

如果想钓到鳟鱼,就需要尽可能多地了解它——它的外观、进食地点、喜欢的水域,以及它的行为和进化史。普罗塞克的这本书配有丰富的插图,特色是将原创水彩画与鳟鱼引人入胜的自然史相结合。

The Longest Silence: A Life in Fishing by Thomas McGuane

托马斯·麦瓜恩《最长的静默:钓鱼人生》

This collection of 40 essays shows what dedication to a sport reveals about life. Both funny and reverent at the same time, each piece shares McGuane’s deep experience of wildlife and the outdoors and love for the sport he pursues. The book takes you around the world, from Florida tarpon to Icelandic salmon, and provides you with an intimate look at many varied lives who all share one thing: a love of fly fishing.

这本文集收录了40篇散文,展现出全身心投入一项运动会揭示怎样的人生真谛。文章幽默而又充满敬意,每一篇都分享了麦瓜恩对野生动植物和户外活动的深刻体验,以及他对所追求运动的热爱。这本书带你环游世界,从在佛罗里达钓大海鲢到去冰岛钓鲑鱼,并让你有机会深入了解许多不同的人生,而这些人的共同点就是:对飞钓的热爱。

The Optimist: A Case for the Fly Fishing Life by David Coggins

戴维·科金斯《乐观主义者:飞钓生活》

There’s plenty of books about fly fishing and being a fly fisher, but fewer exist about the philosophy of fly fishing. This is one of those: an argument for the skills and sensibilities of fly anglers around the world. It’s a meditation on how fishing teaches focus, inner stillness, and a connection to the natural world, all while being couched in entertaining fishing stories. It shares a great perspective on how fly fishing and the attitudes it requires really can improve your life—but if you’re a fly fisher, you probably knew that already.

关于飞钓和飞钓者的书籍有很多,但关于飞钓哲学的书籍却较少。这本书就是其中之一,它探讨了世界各地飞钓者的钓技和感悟。书中深入思考了钓鱼如何培养专注、达成内心的平静及建立与自然界的联系——所有这些都通过引人入胜的钓鱼故事一一表达。此书以独到的视角剖析了飞钓及其所需的心态如何能真正改善你的生活——不过,如果你本来就是一名飞钓者,那你可能已经知道了这一点。

Fly-Fishing the 41st by James Prosek

詹姆斯·普罗塞克《北纬41度的飞钓》

Fly fishing is practiced around the world. In Prosek’s case, this is literal. Fly-Fishing the 41st chronicles his adventures fishing around the 41st parallel—the same latitude, all the way from Connecticut to Mongolia, with stops in Greece, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, and many other exotic fishing locales. It’s a very interesting look at lesser-known fly-fishing destinations and the people who live there.

飞钓这门钓法遍行全球。对普罗塞克来说,他真的做到了钓遍全球。《北纬41度的飞钓》记录了他沿着北纬41度线钓鱼的经历——从美国的康涅狄格州一直到蒙古,途经希腊、日本、吉尔吉斯斯坦和其他许多充满异国风情的钓鱼地点。这本书介绍了小众的飞钓地点和当地居民,内容非常有趣。

The River Why by David James Duncan

戴维·詹姆斯·邓肯《大河问询》

One of the classics of the unofficial fly fishing book canon, The River Why has been popular since its publication in 1983. The novel is a coming-of-age comedy about love, nature, and the quest for self-discovery, set in the Pacific Northwest and featuring one man’s quest for steelhead salmon. The story’s protagonist, Gus Orviston, seeks function in a remote cabin away from his dysfunctional family. For Gus, fly fishing isn’t just a physical experience; it’s a spiritual one as well, as his quest for self-knowledge tests him with unpredictable experiences.

《大河问询》是飞钓类非主流经典作品之一,自1983年出版以来一直广受欢迎。这部小说是一部关于爱情、大自然和自我发现的成长喜剧,故事背景设定在太平洋西北部,讲述了一个男人追寻硬头鳟的经历。小说的主人公格斯·奥维斯通为了摆脱不健康的家庭环境,去到一处偏远小屋以寻求心灵的寄托。对格斯来说,飞钓不仅是身体上的体验,也是精神上的,因为他在寻求自我认知的过程中遭遇了种种难以预料的考验。

A River Runs Through It and Other Stories by Norman Maclean

诺曼·麦克林恩《大河恋》(又译《一江流过水悠悠》)

Perhaps the best-known fly fishing story in history, A River Runs Through It is just as exciting a novella as it is a film. Maclean’s passion for fly-fishing, the natural world, and the interplay of life and art, created a classic of the American West.

《大河恋》或许是历史上最著名的飞钓故事,这部中篇小说和由它改编成的电影同样扣人心弦。麦克林恩对飞钓、自然世界以及生命与艺术相互交融的热爱,造就了美国西部文学的经典之作。

Hemingway on Fishing by Ernest Hemingway, edited by Nick Lyons

欧内斯特·海明威《海明威谈钓鱼》(尼克·莱昂斯编)

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the author of The Old Man and the Sea was a passionate angler himself. From his Michigan childhood to his twilight years in Florida, Hemingway was never far from a river or ocean. Fly fishing was a constant feature of his life, and this book collects his short stories and articles that revolve around the pursuit of fulfillment on the open water.
