Inspired by Sawada

The Japanese fly tyer Kenichiro Sawade is not known to be afraid of colors. He is an extremely crative tyer, whose flies always sparkle with color and beautiful materials and proportions. In his book "Tube & waddington Fly Dressing" he shows pattern descriptions for new and classical flies tied on tubes and waddington shanks.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
