As a kid, I used to tie flies for my dad. I got so good I decided to enter a competition in Trout & Salmon, I don't know whether they actually thought they were any good or just took pity on me cos I was a youngster but I got a heap of feathers, threads etc sent from them.
Anyone who's interested should have a go - it's quite easy to get started and you can sell the finished works of art on Ebay !
