This week, join Kyle in the studio as he whips up the highly-requested Rocktober Caddis! This caddis pattern is a must-have for your box – featuring rubber legs, a hackled body over a foam underbody, and topped off with plenty of elk hair. It's a high-riding dry that can handle the chop, perfect on its own or as a stellar indicator for those crisp October evenings. Don’t overlook this fly – it’s a true game-changer on the water!
