The October Caddis is beautiful, orange and large so it is often referred to as the "Giant Orange Sedge". It can be found from the Pacific Coast to the Rocky Mountains. It is a member of the Limnephilldae family of caddisflies and usually hatches in September and October, hence the name. It lives in the moderate to fast moving water of freestone streams. It emerges in the evenings and the egg laying takes place late in the afternoon to evenings.

Presentation:

Because these caddisflies are so large, it is easy to see them even under the low light conditions of the evening. Present your fly in a dead drift exactly in the area where you observe them depositing their eggs. As soon as the trout spot your fly, it may be helpful to twitch the rod tip slightly. However, being too aggressive will tend to spook the trout.

On rainy, overcast or even days it is snowing lightly, you may want to fish the adult imitation early in the mornings before the sun comes up on the water as the egg layers have been seen depositing their eggs under these conditions.
