How to use this prompt
A half-finished fly is more instructive than a finished one, so the prompt specifies "a half-finished fishing fly with a dubbed body and hackle fibres" — the named parts, dubbed body and hackle, are the diagnostic features that make it read as fly tying rather than generic craft. The vise holding the hook is essential: it establishes the scale and the technique. Keep the materials arranged neatly on the bench so the scene reads as a tier's station, not clutter. Warm focused light keeps the tiny fibres readable. A 3:2 frame fits the vise, the hands and the spread of materials.
Variations to try
- Finished fly — a single completed dry fly in macro
- Materials — feathers, dubbing and hooks laid out in rows
