In this video, Simon ties a fantastic fall searching nymph pattern. October Caddis are a large species of caddisfly that hatches in many places out west. This is a hatch that both anglers and trout alike are excited for. The pupa emerge in lower light conditions and offer trout a large, vulnerable meal. Fish key in on their presence and there are several weeks each year where trout feed on October Caddis Pupa with reckless abandon. The rabbit making up the body compresses beautifully into an irresistible pupa. This fly works best dead drifted or swung mimicking a pupa adrift or ascending to hatch. Feel free to size this up or down. The bead size of this fly can also be adjusted for water conditions or depth. We like to carry these in a variety of bead sizes to accommodate different conditions.
