fly-tying
Angler's handwork hobby
Fly-tying is the craft of constructing artificial fishing flies by binding feathers, fur, thread, and other materials to a hook.
The flies imitate insects or small creatures to attract fish.
Anglers who tie their own flies often consider it an art form: He spent the winter at his fly-tying bench, preparing for trout season.
