I’ve seen serval october caddis patterns, but this 1 I like a lot, simple, easy to tye, & the materials are readily available,I might add a rootbeer krystal flash antennae just because I like antennae.
Nice finished product man. May even try the antennae idea on about half of them. Like antennae but I find that they get in the way when I am in a hurry putting them in a box. My fault. Well it’s raining like crazy up here so the hot choc and chili taste real good. Rivers will be up so will try the beaches this afternoon……will see if those green flies do any good and let you know.
