October Caddis - The Ultimate Fall Attractor Pattern
The October Caddis represents the season's largest caddisfly and one of fall's most anticipated hatches. This precisely tied pattern matches the massive Dicosmoecus shuttleworthi, featuring the high-visibility orange body and robust profile that triggers aggressive strikes from trophy trout during autumn's prime fishing period.
