Idaho Fish In - October Caddis
After reading a bunch of stuff on this hatch, which I have never fished, looking at pics of the naturals and going through umpteen patterns ( recipes, tying instructions, and photos ), I came up with this fly as a possibility for the Idaho Fish In October Caddis-fest.
Any and all constructive criticism is invited. This fly measures just about an inch long, which is very close to what most of the literature says about the size of the adult. It incorporates a furled antron extended body, a deer hair wing, a peacock herl thorax area and brown hackle to size.

This is a pretty simple tie and should be durable. But the real question is will it be effective ?? Comments from those who have fished this hatch, either on the Selway or other October Caddis waters, are most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Here are the October Caddis Stimis, and a couple other that are great for Cutties

Got the pics loaded of the October Caddis Stimulator and an Italian Spider, and pardon the language but one that has been a great fly this last summer and now fall - " The Thing From Uranus"
I now shorten the name to the "The Thing" as could you imagine on a stream shouting across with other fishers near "Hay could I borrow "The thing from Uranus" they are hot over here.....
