Red & Tan Squid Crease Fly

Snowy day fly tying...

From the Archives: Squidalicious Nights from 2012

With recent squid crease fly posts in the middle of winter, I just had to resurrect some archival photos (taken by Dave Skok and myself). Back in the summer of 2012, we had fantastic night fishing, using squid imitations. I remember using squid crease flies exclusively. See the original post here.
