Three DANCING SQUIDS I finished last night in three different colors:
white/pearl | white/uv-sand | white/uv-pink
The idea behind this fly was to create a squid pattern, for fishing in the Baltic Sea for sea trouts. I wanted a squid pattern with a great movement in the water and it must be easy to cast. There are a lot of squid patterns around, but we fish for sea trout mostly with 6 and 7weights and casting long distances, so the less material the better. The DANCING SQUID moves great because of the sili legs, the ostrich and the articulation. The mantle is made from arctic fox and laser dub and got a nice translucency. They are weighted and tied on a Gamakatsu F 314 #4.
Watch out sea trouts, the DANCING SQUID is coming! ;-)
That is the simplest, most innovative and beautiful squid pattern I’ve ever seen. Makes me wish there were squid in Montana.
Thank you Matt! I was thinking about it for quite a while until I got the final idea. Well, there are no squid in Montana, but a great landscape, nice rivers and big trout. It’s a dream of me to visit Montana someday. So, you’re a lucky guy! :-)
When you get here I’ll take you down the Big Blackfoot of A River Runs Through it.
