Thank you @clarkman for the Nayat and premo bucktail.
Heres Nayat squid #1, and first fly tied in almost a year. Digging the Nayat as the perfect squid fly material. White nayat, a bit of white BT, a couple strands of fine lateral scale, and 12mm FTD eyes. The eyes are attached with UV resin to swatches of nylon mesh craft ribbon.
Edit: Almost forgot the hook. It's an Owner 3/0 Aki. Excellent fly hook:

I have no intention of purchasing a full skein of Lion brand yarn for tying a few flies.
I substituted with Uni yarn
