DUBBN, this Caddis SH imitates one that emerges the same time as my favorite October Caddis. I usually fish it as a 3 fly cast with an OC Dry on top and 2 caddis Soft Hackles below depending if both are on the water.

Beautiful ties. Thanks for listing the recipes of these fish delicacies.
I fish wet flies with faith and hope, faith that trout don't require exactitude and hope that when my time comes, God will explain why wet flies work...
