Error implementing get set.

When implementing the get and set I keep getting the error: Frog.cs(9,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol {' Frog.cs(10,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol{' Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

The code itself reads:

public int NumFliesEaten { get {return _numFliesEaten;} set {_numFliesEaten = value;} }

the get is line 9 and the set line 10. I don't understand why I'm getting the error as this is what is displayed in the course as well as in Microsoft documentation. PLEASE HELP!!!

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public int NumFliesEaten()
        {
            get {return _numFliesEaten;}
            set {_numFliesEaten = value;}
        }
    }
}

Just as soon as I posted this, I realized the issue. It is the "()" after: public int NumFliesEaten
