Fly Tying a Camo Squid variant. This has been one of my favorite Steelhead patterns. I tie them like this and with 4 hackles over the shoulder (icedub/ostrich/guinea) This fly also incorporates a composite loop and shows some cool new fly tying techniques.

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.
