... for a change of pace at the vise and looking not too far down the road.

This is a scaled down version of the FEB OC 2.2 ( October Caddis ) that did so well for me for about six weeks this past fall, with the appropriate color change for the skwalas I've observed around here.

It's tied on a TMC 2312 size 14, with two strands of furled antron, one olive and one stone brown, olive dun 6/0 thread, and dark brown deer hair, with Montana Fly Company size small speckled brown centipede legs. The bullethead is deer hair spun just behind the eye, swept back, and trimmed on the underside behind the tie in.



And from the underside.



Hope to be doing the initial field tests in not much more than a month. If it is as successful as its FEB salmonfly, golden stone, hopper, and October Caddis predecessors, it's going to be a lot of fun fishing it.

P.S. This fly was originally posted on Dave's "late January" thread, but I had a PM from a BB member suggesting that it have it's own thread, so here it is.
