FLY DETAILS
October Caddis Pupa
The October Caddis Pupa is an excellent choice during an October Caddis hatch. Trout often key in on the pupa as it swims toward the surface during emergence, making this pattern especially effective when fished mid-column or on the swing toward the end of a drift.

PRESENTATIONS -
Emerger Rig >
This emerger performs well fished alone in a dedicated Emerger Rig, where its suspended profile sits right in the strike zone during hatch activity.
Dry Dropper Nymph >
Fished in tandem with a highly visible dry fly acting as an indicator, this setup allows the nymph to suspend higher in the water column - ideal for targeting trout feeding near the top of the water column during a hatch.
Nymph Rig >
Fished as the dropper fly in a Nymph Rig, this pattern excels when targeting trout feeding mid-column. Applying floatant to the fly and upper tippet helps keep it suspended off the bottom, effectively imitating an emerging insect as it rises toward the surface.
