A French squid in Irish colors

This is the finished squid. All the coloring was done at one time, first a white epoxy/acrylic mixture was applied and then the green and orange acrylic was dabbed into the wet colored epoxy. These colors were chosen from the Irish flag (green, white and orange). This fly took a Direcor's choice at the 2001 Irish Open Fly Tying Championship held in Dublin Ireland. A clear coat of epoxy was applied after the coloring was cured.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
