Flies for squid is an interesting question, and I like your point about finicky squid going for flies over jigs, flies would certainly allow a more delicate presentation.

i actually made a squid fly using about 10 barbless hooks glued in a circle with some epoxy. not easy to tie a fly with so many hooks! in hind sight it would have been easier to just slide something onto the hooks (e.g. some cyclinder of plastic or foam for example) to form the body rather than trying to wind on fur and feather with thread. i lost this fly i think so never caught anything on it. make sure you don't make the fly too heavy otherwise will be a nightmare to cast! actually, with that in mind, expoxy glue was a poor choice because the fly became too heavy.

The design was to have the jigs in a horizontal position off of the main line, which would be typical of a baitfish. The jigs weigh very little, so would sink quite slowly. Probably typical weight to a saltwater streamer fly, so not very heavy, I do not imagine needing a very heavy rod. First photo fly is about 2", other one about 3".
In Australia from what I have been reading, most of the fishing is in shallow water, maybe 6' deep???? Picture using a floating flyline, with a 6' leader section, and slow sinking "squid-fly". The design would actually accept and hold any scents that you might want to add too.
I've only made a few of these as prototypes right now, but I've been kicking it around.

If there is enough fly-fishers out there, it could actually be a BLAST hooking up on squid with a fly-rod.
As far as payment, I'm flexible, check, money order, Paypal.
Give me some input on sizes, weight, and colors???? I assume daytime fishing, so a luminous fly is not important???

I think this could be an interesting concept.
So if you're talking night fishing, a luminous squid-fly might work better??

My Idea for a squid fly!!!!
Tie a popper type fly on tube, tie on a treble hook with the barbs flattened. That give you three times the advantage of single hook you've got to give them a bit of a chance.
