I was fascinated by the detail on this display! They were real and I just took a photo of it. The intricacy of the making was obviously necessary to get the fish to jump to take the bait.
Perhaps its only Scotland that uses these flies but then I don't do the fishing in NZ where these are made. My fly fishing experience involved getting the instructor caught in his crotch with my hook!
There is so much craftsmanship in every little fly. And fly fishing instructors are brave souls...I'm sure they've all been hooked a time or two. Although the crotch hook was most unfortunate. :)
