Pretty Amazing!

I was browsing materials recently and found "bling rabbit strips", which I hadn't seen before. Might have to get some if we're going to need to start tying artificial flies that look like jewelry....

Interesting. this Reminds me of my grandmothers collection of gold encased insects. I think my wife has them right now.

No ---> would be more expensive if you lost one or more while fishing...
 
It is amazing but I'm curious......must have done this in an aquarium.... You wouldn't go to your local stream and throw gold leaf and gems in there and hand around with a camera hoping for the best. And was there a difference in choice between girls and guys.? And how would you know which was which. It would be interesting to see how this was accomplished. I've shown gals samples of steelhead flies I've tied and a lot of them bring up the idea of earrings. Just sayin.

I’ve worked on multiple underwater film projects back in the day…you would be surprised to know how many film shots were staged in “a controlled setting”…

It was done in an aquarium. Here is a short account of his work by Hubert Duprat.
