fly tying
Dubbing hackle and thread
Fly tying is the craft of creating artificial fishing lures by wrapping thread, feathers, fur, and other materials around a hook to imitate insects or baitfish.
The lures are called flies because many mimic mayflies, caddisflies, and other insects that trout eat.
Fly tying ranges from utilitarian to artistic: He ties his own flies for salmon fishing.
