I have had squid grab onto flies but never caught any on fly so far. its a bit hard to hook them on a single hook.
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.
cheers, glen
