All species of the Pacific Salmon include squid in their diet, so they are of importance to the fly fisherman for fishing offshore in the salt. This pattern imitates a baby Loligo (Loligo opalescens), a variety of squid that is common from Mexico to Alaska, along the Pacific coast. It is also a pattern more commonly used in the Puget Sound region.
