The Red Ass Tarantula Squid

This pattern is a mix between my Tarantula flies and Scott Howells outstanding Squidro pattern. This pattern i have made for night fishing for Sea trouts and Salmon here in Scandinavia but the patter will sure work for Steelhead to. The idea was that I wanted to have a light fly on a tube with lots of movment and not using Marabou or Ostrich spey hackles that gets worn to fast after been fished hard for some time. If I want to out some weight to the fly theres is no problem just use Tungsten Coneheads or Eyes.
