Consider A River Runs through It and Other Stories by Norman MacLean. Recommended by 3 sources.
“MacLean writes in lean yet lyrical sentences that slow time down; the title novella unfolds like a single, patient cast of a fly line. What works best is the combination of precise outdoor detail and a melancholic account of family, faith, and memory—the fishing scenes function as both action and extended metaphor. The main limitation is tempo: readers who like plot-driven narratives or quick payoff may find long, contemplative passages and repeated landscape description tedious rather than immersive. Other stories in the collection are shorter and sometimes sharper, so skim-and-return works.”
