Nobody Loves White Fish西式毛鉤會白魚

石溪(Rock Cr.)中游,我們由路邊走下釣人踏出的步徑,這裡離主流還有些距離,而在這當中,森林裡有條小溪,像極了曾去過的英國號手溪,於是我向威廉示意,先在這裡晃晃,不過一個多小時的搜尋,除了美麗的風景,就只有一尾小的不能再小的虹鱒。



In the middle of Rock Creek, we walked down to the trail which stepped by anglers.
There was still certain distance to reach main stream from the trail. We found a small stream in the forest, it was like Horner Water in England where I have ever been. So I told William that I would like to take a try. After an hour searching, I gamed nothing but with the joy of beautiful scenery and caught a rainbow trout which could not be even much smaller.


在往下游走去的同時,遠遠地看到威廉的竿子呈現滿弓,不過不一會兒就看著魚兒衝向下游鑽入流心,又是個飲恨!但沒多久,換吐司的竿子傳來魚訊,而且從釣竿的彎度,應該於不小呢,可一掃昨天的怨氣。纏鬥一會後,魚兒漸露疲態,威廉一個漂亮的下網,幫忙將魚撈起。「哇!是白魚、是白魚耶!」威廉大聲地嚷著,沒見過白魚的我們開心莫名,畢竟這是溫帶靠寒帶或溫帶山區才有的魚種。但就在這條白魚之後,吐司像是找到白魚的家,連著一接一尾地拉,而接連遭遇魚隻脫逃的威廉,也只得放棄原本的釣點,試試這新朋友,結果才一下子,就見他的黏土浮標下沉,又是一尾!
While I was moving to downstream, I saw William’s rod bent as crescent. But it was not too long then the trout dived into the current. Regret for losing fish again. Then Hank’s rod had response. From the curve of rod, the fish seem to be good size. After a couple of minutes of fighting, the fish finally turned to weak. William netted the fish with pretty movement. “Wow! White fish, it is white fish!” William shouted out. White fish is the fish which separates only in north country, and we felt extremely exciting about it because we had never seen this kind of fish before.
After landing up this white fish, Hank seemed to find their home and caught one after one. William gave up the original point he fished and came to try white fish, the new friend we just encountered. It cost a few minutes, William’s floatant sank into the water, one more white fish!


鱒魚的習性來說,應該很容易受到驚嚇,但這裡的白魚卻傻的有點讓人訝異,同個釣點竟然能一尾接一尾地拉起,加上中魚後牠雖然體積不小,卻不會藉著水流向下逃竄或躍起洗鰓,增加起魚的困難度,甚至還會逆流上溯,便於釣人收線,所以拼鬥力大不如虹鱒與棕鱒,也才不被當作主要對象魚,不過牠至少讓遠方來的我們一賭尊容。可惜的是下午還有路程要趕,於是只得告別石溪,向柏士門(Bozeman)挺進,而柏士門則更是蒙大拿州西式毛鉤的重鎮。
According to the habitual behavior of trout, they should be nervous and easily scared. But the white fish here was too silly to believe that we could catch several in the same point. Although white fish was big, they did not swim down to the current nor leaped out of water. It even swam toward to upstream made it was easy for the angler to roll back the line. White fish is not as powerful as rainbow and brown trout, and such is the reason that anglers do not take it as the major game fish. But the show up of white fish let us see its’ appearance at least. We had a long journey to go in the afternoon. Therefore, we had to say goodbye to Rock Cr. and drove to Bozeman. And Bozeman, is the important fly fishing location in Montana.

A Fine day After Typhoon 雨過天晴的釣況



The typhoon brought a lot of rainfall and raised the stream.  The strong flow washed out the food, made fish in the stream was extreamly starveling.  Normally, the shaved chub always feed moss and aquatic insect on the bottom, but the huger pushed them to chased the artificial fly up to the surface.  
Wesley aimed the one of the biggest shaved chub as the target.  When he hooked an big shaved chub, I could see the rod was bended as perfect loop from  long distnace.  The fierce fight tied on several minutes, then I saw Wesley walk down to me with simle on his face.  I noticed that there was a very nice shaved chub in his net.  Nice fish should be recorded by well image.  So I took my Hasselblad camera shoot for Wesley and his new record.

台灣,颱風常帶來豪雨及洪水,因此經過洪流後,矽藻便被泥砂刷得乾乾淨淨,於是讓苦花們飢腸轆轆,也讓人有機會以毛鉤在水表誘釣牠們。
這天,小左盯上了一尾大苦花,於是即便在一段距離外的我,都能看見他作合中魚時,釣竿完美的弧度。在經過幾分鐘的激烈纏鬥後,小左面帶笑容地走向我,這時我看見他的抄網裡超大苦花,也不由得嘖嘖稱奇!於是我趕緊拿起哈蘇相機,留下這一刻難得的紀錄。


備註:這尾苦花足足有36公分長,卻是用2號線重竿釣起。

There! 在那兒!

西式毛鉤很多時候有強烈的「目視作釣」(Sight Fishing)性質,換句話說就是看到對象魚才出手,這點在國外釣鱒魚也用得到。於是透過資深的釣友或釣魚導遊判斷釣點,然後觀察出上浮(Rise)或魚影,再出手將事半功倍!
In most of the time, sight fishing is the strong characteristic of fly fishing. In the other words, the angler fish till he see the target fish. This is a useful rule when angling trout in the outland. It is much easy to catch a fish with the aid of experienced angler or fishing guide to help you to tell the angling points and observes the rise or shadow of fish.

Greedy Top-mouth Culter 貪吃的曲腰魚

清楚沒?除了上顎前端的毛鉤外,口腔內左邊的地方還有另一隻毛鉤!這尾曲腰第一次中鉤時讓他斷線脫逃,但隨即又被釣上。差別是第一次吃的很殺、很深,第二次學乖了點,但還是忍不住毛鉤的誘惑。
Do you see that? There was a fly hooked on the lip, besides, there was the other fly in the left side of mouth. This Top-mouth culter was hooked and broke tippet in the first time, but later, it was captured again. The difference is that the fish took the fly aggressively in the first time. And the fish still couldn’t reject the temptation of fly, even it was much careful in the second time.

The Girl’s Big Stripe Dace 高小妹的大馬口

子的學習力總是比較好的!有過幾次餌釣經驗的高小妹,在爸爸的指導下,很快熟悉匙型路亞(Spoon)的操作。這一天她釣上十幾尾馬口魚,挑一尾大的留下紀念吧!
Kids always have well learning ability. The girl had several times of bait fishing experience. Under the instruction of her dad, she soon learned to fish with spoon.She caught a dozen of Stripe dace in the day. And I took a photo for her with the big prize.

The Record by #2 Fly Rod二號線重竿的紀錄

鯉到底可以用線號多小的釣竿呢?或者說一、二號線重的釣竿,可以順利釣起多大的野鯉呢?其實早在八年前就已經拿一號線重的竿子,釣過數尾一斤多的野鯉,但總因為這樣的釣具難以擒獲大鯉,或說漫長的搏魚過程中,早就把釣場裡其他的鯉魚嚇光光,所以小號數釣竿絕非首選。
How light the tackle can be used for angling carp? Or in the other words, how big the carp can be landed up with #1 or #2 Fly Rod? I had caught several carp which was over 1.5 pounds by #1 Fly Rod eight years ago. But it is hard to use such light tackle to catch large size carp, or I should said, the other carp was scared away while it cost too much time to fight with carp. So, light tackle is not the primary choice for angling carp.總有突發奇想的時候,為了試試自己設計的「旅行者7924」(七呎九吋四節二號竿),到底可以耐上多大的拉力值,於是就選擇鯉魚頗多的一處河濱公園,下竿測試。
The idea just flashed to my mind one day─I would like to test how the big the strength that Traveler #2 7’9(4) the rod which I design can endure? Therefore I fished in a riverside park where abounded with carp.

過實際的誘釣,本日一共釣上五尾鯉魚,其中30公分以下的小鯉魚因為無法打標,就不列入紀錄,所以留下紀錄照片的,就只有45.4公分的雌鯉一尾,以及54.4公分的雄鯉一尾。其中五十多公分的雄鯉雖然吃得很胖,但還是拉力驚人,差點讓預備線被抽出釣竿,好在一路跟著跑,才在花了五、六分鐘後,請牠上岸。
I caught five carp totally in the day. Amongst of those carp, some were smaller than 30cm so I did not make tags on them. I took photos of 45.4cm female carp and 54.4cm male carp only. The male carp was fat but against power was amazing. The backing was almost drawn out of the reel by him. I ran with the carp, and it cost me five or six minutes to land up him.

Nice Ending in Hyalite Creek 秀麗小溪—Hyalite Cr.

蒙大拿的最後一天釣遊地點,是當地中國餐廳那位美麗服務生的建議,即柏茲曼(Bozeman)市郊的Hyalite溪。當地人描述,Hyalite溪是東嘉樂丁河(E. Gallatin R.)支流,景色秀麗可愛,不過溪幅小、魚體不大,故較少有人造訪釣魚。
Hyalite Creek was the place where we fished the last day we were in Montana. It was a suggestion by the sweet waitress in Chinese food restaurant. Hyalite Cr. is the tribute of Eastern Gallatin R., narrow but nice, and few people comes to fish there.

行20分鐘,進了山區便是小溪中游,此處設有一座小壩,但已頹圮,現在水流順旁邊沖出的新河道往下游流去。Hyalite溪頗像台灣丹野的卡社溪支流,或是英國號手溪、日本湯川,如此環境正是我們所熟悉,因此眾人均選擇二號線重竿。
We drove about 20 minutes then arrived the midstream where was in the forest. There was a small damaged dam, and the stream had washed a new way and ran toward to downstream. Hyalite Cr looks like the tributes of Danja in Taiwan, Horner Water in England or Yu Stream in Japan. Such fishing environment was we familiar with, so we all choose to use #2 fly tackle.
於少人釣遊,因此毛鉤一落水魚兒便衝來捧場,但體型不大,於是我把注意力放在廢壩前的標點。從上浮的水紋看來,底下的魚兒體型比水流中的大,加上水底佈滿藻床,應該有不錯的對手可以試試。低身緩緩靠近,掛上偏光鏡,果然發現水下有數尾一尺左右的虹鱒慵懶地游著!不過清澈緩慢的「反轉流」因食物容易聚集,所以魚兒對食物挺挑,僅捕食極小的搖蚊蛹。於是翻了翻毛鉤盒,選了一枚20號的羽化搖蚊蛹毛鉤,並在前導線前銜接60公分的7X毛鉤子線。
Because few people fished here, so trout bit fly without any hesitation once it fell on the surface. The size of trout are small, so I put my concentration on the spot where was in front of the damaged dam. From the signal of raise, I supposed the trout was bigger than those in flow. In addition, the bottom of the stream was covered by weed bed, there should be some nice size trout could make a test. I stalked the trout carefully, with the aid of polarizes, I could find out there was some 12 inches rainbow swam lazily. The trout is much selective due to the food gather in the clean and slow swirl easily. Trout took tiny midge only. I looked over my boxes, then picked a #20 midge pupa up and attached it on the 60cm- long 7X tippet.

種環境作釣務必要注意水流,也要避免毛鉤落水後的漂浮過程出現拖曳(Drag),以免不自然的動作驚擾魚兒、增加戒心。若順利的話,漂浮過程中魚兒便會上浮捕食;若沒反應,得先順流飄,迨流至止水處等一下,再等魚兒接近時,輕輕抖動竿尖,讓毛鉤製造小小的水紋,這時魚兒會以為有昆蟲掙扎,便可能發動攻擊,於是以此法成功釣上三尾29公分的虹鱒。
Fishing in such spot must be careful with flow. In order to alert the trout, angler should avoid making fly drag during the drift. If the drift is successful, trout will rises and takes the fly. And if trout dose not take fly, you should let the fly drift to still water and wait for a while. When trout approaches the fly, then quiver the fly slightly to make small ripple. The trout may mistake that as the insect struggles on the surface and takes the fly. I had used this method and catch 3 rainbow trout which is 12 inches long.

直逗留在壩前甚是可惜,於是趕緊提起腳步追上威廉與吐司。當然啦,沿路上看似標點的淺瀨並沒放過,只不過前面已有兩位先行者,所以接下來釣上的魚兒都是Baby。行進一百多公尺後,看見吐司興奮地從上游跑來,原來是他在一處瀨頭釣上一尾30公分的虹鱒,算是本日的最大尾獎!
I could not keep fishing in front of dam, so I decided to move myself to catch up William and Hank. I did not give up trying the spots while I was moving to upstream, of course. But most of my catch was baby trout which left from the two first movers. I marched about 100 meters then saw Hank ran toward me excitedly. He just caught a 12 inches rainbow trout in the pool head, and the trout was the biggest prize today.

著拍完照片後,我倆繼續往上游去尋找威廉。這時看見威廉在一座小木橋前,正專心地拋投,原來是他發現一處魚窟,簡直是「釣之不竭」!有了這麼好的釣況,當然也順便把攝影機拿出來,好好紀錄畫面。於是我們邊釣、邊拍,一路再往上游走去,直到天色完全暗下,而如此親切、秀麗的小溪也就成為我們在美國的釣遊句點。
After taking photo, we walked to upstream to find William. Then we saw William concentrated on fishing in front of a small wooden bridge. He found a pool where trout was abundant, and it was even seemed that the trout was unlimited. I took out DV camera to record the procedure. We fished and took photos until the sky became totally dark. Such nice and beautiful stream was the end of our fishing journey in America.

Formosan pale chub painted by water color

I am inspired by James Prosek who is a talented artist, writer and fly angler. His beautiful works give me the idea of painting fish with water color. So I found out my painting tackles and tried to paint my favorite fish, Formosan pale chub.

Peter’s Secret Spot彼得阿伯的秘密釣場

格說起來,在柏茲曼(Bozeman)一連三天的釣況都不算理想,加上天氣越來越冷,所以提前結束了凱莫隆橋(Cameron Bridge)的釣遊,改到大黃石釣具店(Great Yellow Stone Fly Fishing Shop)採購,順便打聽有無較好的釣場。一進入大黃石釣具店,店內的人對我們這批黃面孔多少有些訝異,且多半以為是日本人,於是自我介紹後便向他們請教。其中一位名叫彼得(Peter)的阿伯特別熱心,原來他是退休人士,在此享受退而不休的打工生活,他建議到嘉樂丁河下游的曼哈坦,因為那裡有他的秘密釣點。
Frankly to say, the results of fishing were not good in the past three day in Bozeman. In the other hand, the weather became colder and colder, so we finished the fishing in Cameron Bridge in advance then drove to Great Yellow Stone Fly Fishing Shop to buy some goods and also asked some information. Once we entered Great Yellow Stone
Fly Fishing Shop, people in the shop were surprised by us, and most of them though we were Japanese. After introducing ourselves, one man who named as Peter treated us much enthusiastic. He was a retired man and enjoyed the carefree living. He suggested us to fish in Manhattan, downstream of Gallatin R., there was his personal secret fishing spot.
日,因距離較遠,於是提前出發前往曼哈坦(Manhattan)。這是個頗迷你的小鎮。駛出小鎮後,接著看見一望無際的牧場,清晨的光線照在大地,乳牛低頭吃著草,遠方還未散去的霧氣,晨曦中的寧靜鄉間真是美的說不出話!在如此氣氛中,循著告示牌下溪,並依彼得阿伯的指示往上游走去。據他的說法,循溪走30分鐘,便能看到一段大白壁(Great White Wall),而從白壁開始就是他的秘窟。由於這裡更原始,所以一路上有許多鹿的蹄印、排遺、河狸的水壩,甚至還看見三頭正在尋找食物的白尾鹿,那種與野生動物的面對面接觸,令人驚喜!
Next day, we got up early and drove to Manhattan. Manhattan is tiny. When we penetrated through the town, all we saw was the no boundary ranch. Clear sunshine brightened the ground, cows lowed their head and chewed the grass. Fog in the distant place did not clear out yet. What a beautiful scenery it was. We followed the introduction of sign to move toward to river, then forward to upstream direction just as Peter said. According to his saying, we went forward to upstream for an half hour then could see the Great White Wall, and that was his secret spot. Because the place was original, so we could see a lot of footprints and waste left by deer, and dam made by beaver. And we even saw three white tail deer were feeding. It was a surprise to met wildlife face to face.
30分鐘後,「果然沒錯,就是這兒!」威廉確定地說,而我們當然是趕緊進入作戰位置,結果不到二分鐘,吐司就釣上一條大魚。有了前幾天的經驗,這次當然是小心翼翼地對應,但纏鬥幾分鐘後,露頭的竟是尾43公分的大白魚。接著,我的浮標也頓了一下,一揚竿便發現游動的力量不小,但又不像是白魚那種向上溯的感覺,於是冷靜取代了興奮,逐步將魚往岸邊淺灘帶,並設法制服牠。由於水流不若嘉樂丁河急,所以沒花太多時間便把這條38公分的棕鱒擺平,也為此次來美國留下一項新紀錄。有了這樣振奮人心的成果,威廉也不示弱,拉上幾尾虹鱒,只可惜體型小了些,但這樣的狀況值得我們繼續向前進,於是決定快速上溯,再逐步往回釣。
After 30 minutes walking, we finally saw the destination. “Here it is”, William said affirmatively. We all got into position quickly. It was less than two minutes, Hank caught a big trout. With the previous experience, Hank fought the fish carefully. After several minutes of fighting, the result came up with a big white fish. My floatant had a small stop, I made a strike then felt the strong against power from the other side. It did not swim to the upstream just as white fish would dose.
The excitement soon was replaced with clam, I led the fish to shallow riverside and tried to defeated it. Because the flow was not as fast as Gallatin R., so it did not cost too much time to land this 15 inches brown trout up. This was my personal new record in America. With such cheerful result, William also landed several rainbow trout up, but they were small. The result encouraged us to keep moving to upstream.

下來的釣點,雖然一看就知道底下有大物,但真是讓人頭皮發麻,因為河狸的關係,使得潭區有不少倒木,而這就是要面對的標點。如此環境讓我們快速折損毛鉤,然而正所謂「不入虎穴,焉得虎子」,在這樣的釣場裡吐司還是釣上一尾40公分的棕鱒,並且與另一尾38公分的棕鱒纏鬥時,足足追著牠跑了100多公尺,越過兩個瀨區。
The following spots we faced, were definitely good spots. But the wood piles in the pool which made by beaver became the big problem for us. However, just as the saying nothing ventured, nothing gained, even the spot caused us loose several flies quickly, Hank still caught a16 inches and 15 inches brown trout as the sweet return. Particularly, Hank had ran more than 100yds and crossed two riffle when he fought with a 15 inches brown trout.

午的釣遊過程中,天空不時飄下陣雨,且每當開始飄雨,水面就出現鱒魚上浮的漣漪,但當地鱒魚對乾毛鉤的挑剔,卻讓人頻頻受挫,而雨一停上浮的動作就結束,這算是大自然中物種互動的趣味。隨著時間越來越接近傍晚,風寒效應越來越明顯,於是三人決定提前往回走,但就在此時竟然迷路了!
During the fishing in the afternoon, it rained occasionally. Interestingly, when it started to rain, trout rose, once it stopped raining, so did trout. But the trout were selective to dry fly, what was frustration to us. When the time closed to evening, it started to get colder. We decided to return in advance, but in the meanwhile, we found ourselves were lost.

小徑切入主流時,我還特別以一根枯樹幹做記號,但回程時卻因為不熟悉環境而走入舊河道,這下可慘了!因為美國的私人地可不能任意闖入,於是只好沿著圍籬亂繞,而即便遇到獵人,他們的描述也不算清楚,就這樣「晃」了一個多小時,最後只得跨過私人地,才尋得停車的產業道路,也成為這次釣遊的驚險經驗。
While we cut to main stream from the trail, I had picked up a wood as the mark. But we were lost in the return. What a big problem it was, because a man can not enter private land without permit in America. We walked around by fence, and even we met the hunters, we still could not get clear information from their description. We wasted an hour more, and finally we were forced to cross private land to access the trail where we parked our car. It was the adventurous experience during the fishing trip.

Uninvited Guest─ Grass Carp出乎意外的來者 草魚

2003年發表過西式毛鉤作釣鯉魚後,經過六年推廣,並在Caddis與阿仁的熱情發展下,現在已經成為不少同好投入的毛鉤釣法之一,而針對釣獲的鯉魚打標紀錄,再予以釋獲,更是釣友建立科學觀察的重要里程。
After publishing the article which was about carp angling in 2003, such idea has been promoted for six years. Caddis and Allen are engaged in carp angling and promote it enthusiastically, there are many fly anglers devote themselves to angling carp with fly. Anglers mark the carp then release it, by doing so, it is a important milestone for establishing scientific observation.

日,前往新店的一處釣點,也打算以鯉魚為目標,於是便攜帶了五號線重竿,並配合全浮線與羊毛吐司毛鉤(Wool Toast Fly),但稍微出乎意外的,卻不是緩緩浮起的鯉魚,而是一個較快的影子,啣了毛鉤就跑。由於河水流速不慢,魚兒聰明地順勢進入流心,這一下連五號線重竿也只有「撐著」了!
One day, I went to a fishery spot in Shindan and aimed at carp as the target. I carried #5 weighted tackle, angling with floating line and wool toast fly. It was beyond my expectation. The slow rise was not carp, but a swift shadow which took the fly then dived. Because the flow was not slow, the fish smartly ran into stream. And the strong against power made the #5 rod could do nothing except held until the fish was tired.

好釣竿的腰力頗佳,在一段時間的堅持後,魚兒漸漸地失去抵抗的力量。隨著重量線一圈一圈地收入捲線器,終於真相大白,是一條野化的小草魚(註)。雖然不是第一次以毛鉤釣獲草魚,但這作釣鯉魚的外道,還是為這趟釣遊帶來一些驚奇。或許,下次可以綁幾支「水草」毛鉤,看看是否能專攻草魚吧?!
Thanks to the rod is stiff enough, the fish relaxed against power gradually after a period of time. With the fly line was back to the reel around and around, I finally realized it was a small grass carp. Although it was not the first time that I caught grass carp with fly, the uninvited guest still offered a little surprise during this fly fishing trip. Perhaps, I could prepare several “weed fly” and have a try, to see weather it is possible to major in grass carp.
:草魚並無法直接在台灣的水域生殖繁衍,因此在野外釣獲的草魚,均是人為放流,再逐漸野化的族群。同理、青魚(烏溜)、鰱魚也是如此。
Note: Grass carp can not reproduce in Taiwan field, thus, the grass carp which caught from field are mostly introduced by people. Black carp and chub are the same.

Guide for Korean Fly Anglers 帶韓國毛鉤釣友釣遊

生的緣分真是難以預料也充滿驚奇,半個地球之外或是不同國籍、文化的人在西式毛鉤的連接下竟成為跨國友誼。
2008年九月11號下午,當我正沉醉在釣上大鯉的時刻,大軒接到一通來電,竟是外籍釣友來台,想找釣魚導遊(Fishing Guide)。雖說對方不計代價、費用,但尷尬的是毛鉤屋並沒這個「營業項目」,於是我們決定「無償」帶這兩位釣友感受台灣自然環境的魅力。
了約定的日子,我前往信義計畫區的旅館接兩位韓國朋友,一陣寒暄彼此介紹後,便向郊區出發。在車上的對話中,得知兩位韓國朋友均從事設計工作,合作的對象是台灣的電子大廠,因此每一、二個月就得從美國與首爾來台灣一趟,只不過一、兩年下來都不知台灣哪裡有魚可釣。
去接了大軒後便出發向坪林。允豪與Johnason非常驚訝,竟然只要30分鐘就能到此山明水秀處,也讓他們對台北的風貌大大地改觀,於是我們開始導覽解說北勢溪的生態、魚種習性,以及目前遇到的環境困境,如缺乏管理機制、仍不時有溝渠化工程等等。
下來,帶著兩位外國朋友往逮魚堀溪,看看是否能碰上一些漏網曲腰。經過五月~八月的開放,許多釣客均攜帶大量漁獲後,當地釣況已經很差,一個多小時下來,並沒看見曲腰蹤跡,而允豪也只釣上一尾餐鰷。於是只得繼續由下游往上溯,才在一處較幽暗的小潭區,讓他們兩位一償來台灣的宿願。
鉤釣友其實是不計較漁獲的,將魚兒釋獲後,時間已是下午一點,我提議到街上用餐,讓他們嚐嚐台灣味的小吃,然後再到街上的茶莊泡茶,品嘗當地的名產—包種茶。於是就在這下午的時光中,彼此交換各種西式毛鉤的心得,如海外釣遊經驗、韓國的生態與環境、台灣溪流的現狀、對西式毛鉤釣具的見解……,歡度了一個愉快的釣遊日。

記:這件事給個人的啟發有三。
一、台灣西式毛鉤相關網站的英文化勢在必行。
二、若保育做得更好,台灣可以依賴自然旅遊(如釣魚)從事觀光產業。
三、西式毛鉤的確是「國際語言」,但前提是必須建立國際觀與外語溝通能力。
