[u/ChuckRingslinger]

Looks nothing like Jeff Goldblum

[u/ClammyLettuce]

It doesn't look like a fly, it is a fly!

[u/Skow1179]

This is also called a fly

[u/No_Tradition_6222]

So is this a one time use kind of thing?

[u/77Queenie77 → u/No_Tradition_6222]

Only if you lose it! You should be able to unhook it from the fish and put it back in your collection. You will have different flys that will suit different conditions as you are trying to match with what the fish is expecting to find.

Spent my childhood being dragged to trout pools, watched my mother making her own flys

[u/No_Tradition_6222 → u/77Queenie77]

Ohh ok makes sense thank you, because that is a lot of work.

[u/amatulic]

Upvoted. I don't fish, I've done it and don't really enjoy it, but I have always been fascinated by flies and lures, and thought it might be a fun hobby.

[u/TXGuns79 → u/amatulic]

There are people that enjoy tying flies that don't fish. Probably not many, but it is a hobby and art form in its own right.

[u/MoreThan2_LessThan21]

That's so impressive, and so disgusting - but in a good way.

[u/DumbButKindaFunny]

I love the artistry but like… are there any fish smart enough that that is necessary?

[u/Iron_Buffalo]

[u/ThinNeighborhood2276]

That intricate detail is impressive! How long did it take you to make it?

[u/SeriousVlad4 → u/ThinNeighborhood2276]

Didn't you see? It took him exactly 1 minute and 2 seconds

[u/csaw79 → u/ThinNeighborhood2276]

I'd say about an hour give or take a few minutes

[u/SoThereIwas-NoShit → u/[deleted]]

Yes.  It's called fly fishing.

[u/veeeda]

Bgm name?

[u/RespectRadiant5399]

Masterpiece!

[u/dllimport]

Serious question because I am ignorant but is it necessary to make it so lifelike? Like can the fish actually tell if you made a shitty one and be like "nah that's a fishhook" or is it just a cool thing to make super realistic for fun

[u/my_intrusiveThoughts]

Now that's a keychain for me

[u/Pa7chesOhulihan]

Impress your friends on the next fishing trip by spending your whole day doing that

[u/Brain_Aggressive]

Fish: “why is insect moving ass first”

[u/Sorry-Reporter440]

That's pretty amazing. Peaceful music for a peaceful project.
