This fly has proven to be the go-to fly when stripers are finicky. With its large eyes and long saddle hackles. Stripers are opportunistic feeders and will not pass up a squid.

Bright squid flies can also save the day when you find gamefish feeding on small bait. It’s not uncommon for squid to be feeding on the same food source and a squid fly fished around a bait ball has saved the day more than once.
