... an October Caddis, that is.



This is an original. It performed beautifully on the Lochsa and a couple backcountry Montana freestone streams this past fall, from late September through early November. It is the model for a new FEB skwala dry which I expect to fish in the next few weeks, downsized and with the appropriate color changes.

Hook - TMC 2312 size 12
Thread - 6/0 Montana Fly Co orange
Furled Extended Body - two strands orange antron and one strand stone brown antron
Legs - Montana Fly Co speckled orange small centipede legs
Rear wing - natural humpy deer hair
Head and overwing - natural humpy deer hair tied bullethead style

This 17" West slope cutthroat had eaten it on the Lochsa just before the above pic was taken.
