Caddis October

Designed to imitate the October Caddis (Dicosmoecus)—a large, orange-bodied caddisfly found in the Western U.S. during fall. This pattern mimics the larval or pupal stage, often tied with soft hackle or dubbed bodies in orange to rusty tones.

History:
Originated by Western tyers to match this important late-season hatch, particularly on rivers like the McKenzie, Deschutes, and Trinity. Typically fished near the bottom or in tandem with a dry fly during hatch periods in September and October.
