With 500 breathtaking, larger than life color photos showing quintessential salmon patterns dressed by Ken Sawada. A good number of the flies shown were originally dressed by late nineteenth and early twentieth century masters of the craft, as well as a large number originated and dressed by Ken Sawada. Several of the patterns shown are full-page. Complete with tying instructions. I can't get away from the colored plates and photos: they're mind-blowing beautiful - stunning, sharp, the ultimate eye candy for anyone who loves featherwing salmon flies; there's nothing to compare them to, and no book of its equal. Mr. Sawada's skill in dressing the patterns is unequaled.

In a matching black cloth slip case with large colored salmon flies on both panels. A beautiful book. The book is fine in a fine slip case and printed protective cardboard sleeve.
