I've been thinking back to October. I was only onto about one fish per hour with October caddis pupa pattern, adults were on the water in the evenings and shucks were all over the downstream side of rocks.
I have since heard "October caddis don't have shucks" from a few people, and clipped this:
"Some caddis don’t hatch from the water but prefer to swim to the shore to hatch. They crawl out of the water with their pupal shuck intact. A prime example of this activity is the large October Caddis Dicosmoecus. With this type of hatch dry adult patterns or only useful when the females return to the water to lay eggs."
Yet, orange stimulators were pretty successful that trip, more so than the pupa. I have been midstream when they are just shooting up out of the water like missiles, not from shore. Didn't see that this trip. Maybe we were late for the hatch?
I am just trying to figure out this hatch.
