Beginner Fly Tying: October Caddis

October Caddis

At our September beginner fly tying class we will be tying an October Caddis. In his book “Caddisflies,” author Gary LaFontaine described the hatch of the October caddis as one of the more prolific caddisfly hatches found on many fresh water streams across the U.S. For this reason I chose the October Caddis as an excellent pattern for our beginner class to learn to tie and an ideal pattern for fall fly fishing.

We look forward to having you join us at the beginner fly tying class on Tuesday, September 17 (at 7 p.m.)* at Trinity United Methodist Church, West Patrick St., Frederick. As always, we welcome fly fishers who have never tied an artificial fly to join our beginner fly tying classes. Materials for the fly pattern of the month are provided to all who attend. Vises and tying equipment are also provided for those who are newcomers to tying an artificial fly and don’t have their own tools.

*If you are planning on attending the September 17 class, please remember to reply to the PVFF fly tying group email which will be sent to you several days prior to the class (dfine1443@gmail.com). It is important for Martyn and I to know that you plan to attend, so that we can have sufficient materials available. Also, please let us know if you would like to borrow a vise and tools for the session.
