David Nelson is an accomplished fly tyer who created the revolutionary Squimpish Fly pattern by skillfully merging the qualities of Squid, Shrimp, and Fish. As a result, the name SQUIMPISH was born. This unique and versatile fly pattern has earned him recognition in the field of fly tying and has become a trusted resource for anglers seeking effective patterns to enhance their fishing experience.

Peace, Love & Fly-tying

At Squimpish, our motto is simple: Peace, Love, and Fly Tying. It's not just about crafting flies; it's about finding peace in the process, pouring love into every tie, and embracing the joy of fly tying as a shared adventure.

Peace, Love & Fly Tying✌❤️🎣
