In this video, Simon ties an extremely simple, but effective October Caddis pupa. The fly uses a variety of fantastic materials from Fulling Mill. Chenille body caddis pupa are a great way to pump out a large quantity of flies in a short window. The Super Suede Chenille from Fulling Mill makes tying juicy caddis patterns a breeze. Fall is a time where fish get really keyed in on large nymphs, most notably October Caddis pupa. By now, they have been heavily feeding on them and will move from their lie to catch one adrift in their field of vision. For this reason, searching in the Fall with an October Caddis pupa is a great way to prove promising water. This fly can be sized down for smaller caddis pupa as well. There is another pattern here that we did and it makes a great summer dropper. Again, colors and sizes can and should be changed depending on conditions and location!
