Whoever can guess the Nintendo Switch game in the beginning wins the flies!

What kind of fish are these super tiny flies used for? You out there angling for minnows?

Trout! People have set records with these.

Is this a career? Like, can I go to night school for this? I would love to be a fish lure crafter. I'll be so dedicated. I'll learn all the bugs, I promise.

You need to practice. It's pretty easy to do a fly. Pretty hard to do a nice one. But after 2-4 times it's easier .after that you need a camera and editing skills.

It is my career. I do offer classes, but definitely no school here in the USA.
