Swiss Flies is a non- profit company. All profits will be used, by financing projects and political work to save our beautiful rivers and creeks, for the benefit of our fly fishing. . We further invest in the purchase and preservation of historic Swiss flies. Only in this way, and if talented fly tiers of today tie and fish the successful patterns of yesterday, this unique cultural heritage can be preserved from destruction and oblivion.
If you could profit from the images and descriptions of the historic flies, and if you would like to support this idea, any donation is welcome and we will thank you for that.
