Squimpish Hollow Fly Tutorial

This Squimpish Hollow Fly tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to building a hollow fly using Squimpish fibers.

Hollow-style construction is especially useful when you want to create a larger baitfish profile while keeping the material distributed in controlled, sparse applications.

Building a Hollow Fly With Squimpish Fibers

The tutorial focuses on using Squimpish fibers as the primary material for the hollow construction. Applying the fibers in stages allows the profile to develop gradually rather than becoming overly dense.

This makes it easier to control the overall silhouette of the fly while preserving movement between the layers.

Control the Length and Taper

Squimpish fibers maintain a consistent diameter from root to tip. If the fibers are longer than needed for the pattern, they can be cut to the desired length, reshuffled, and restacked so the ends are staggered and the bundle regains a natural-looking taper.

Keep Hollow Applications Sparse

Sparse applications help preserve the open structure that makes hollow-style flies effective. Build the pattern incrementally and use only as much material as needed to create the intended profile.

Little to No Water Retention

Squimpish synthetic fibers retain little to no water, helping reduce excess water weight between casts on larger baitfish patterns.
