Rio Flies Morrish October Caddis Adult Dry Fly
The Morrish October Caddis Adult Dry Fly from Rio Flies is designed to entice trout all summer long, as well as topwater fall trout. In addition to its intended purpose as an October caddis, this pattern is an outstanding imitation for any salmonfly hatch. Consider it a blessing if you’re lucky enough to have October caddis on a river near you. These are often the last big bugs of the season, and trout greedily and aggressively snatch them up in preparation for winter.

This fly performs well in both summer and fall. The foam body and hair wing give it a natural look that trout respond to. I’ve used it during October hatches and saw several takes. It’s a reliable pattern for the end of the season.
Yvonne Watson –
Great imitation of the October caddis. The hair wing adds a realistic detail. I caught a few trout on it during a late summer outing. It’s a bit heavier than some dry flies, but that works for the pattern.
Diana Greene –
I’ve used this fly in several rivers and it consistently gets attention from trout. The design matches the actual insect well. It’s a must-have for fall fishing.
