Madison's Pumpkin Fed Caddis
Madison - October 2025
As fall rolls around, October caddis are a super fun hatch to fish. With fall, also comes upland hunting season! This is a pattern that takes some of the best of both worlds, utilizing a feather on a partridge skin that you may not typically use. This fly is super fluttery, floats well, and is fun to tie!
Experiment with different color combos—even though I tied mine in bright bubble gum shades, this pattern works in natural tones too.
Tie a few up and get ready for some unforgettable night fly fishing! 🐭🌙
