CROOKED FORK CREEK OCTOBER CADDIS

Had the good fortune to capture a live one a couple weeks ago ? an October Caddis on the Crooked Fork Creek in Northern Idaho. The thing that struck me, compared to my recollections of other specimens I have been able to get my hands on was how ?leggy? this big fall caddis is. Another thing about this particular insect was how uniformly colored it was. While there were varying tones on different parts of the fly, the basic shade was a slightly orange medium tan.
