Fly maker. Country Crafts no.1

This very interesting chap was making flies at the Agriculture Show last week.

He very carefully explained & showed us how to tie a fly. He obviously loved what he did & his hands were very dexterous.

I have quite a few photos from the show that I will use over the next few days if you don't mind, most of them have people in them which are more interesting than the green fields of yesterday!!!!!

My grandfather did this for a hobby. Everything had to be just so or the fish wouldn't bite.
