Do people use real flies to go fly fishing?

Fly Fishing



Again the Trail of the Insects. I believed that they only used fake flies, not real flies. So what is it?
Okay I’m a sevie. And yes I believed they used fake plies, but I wanted to make sure. I want to do well on this project so I need other peoples opinions.
