Next up: Fall Caddis Waking Fly

Do you have a link for that pattern, or do you mean a general waking October caddis pattern?

A general Oct Caddis waking fly will do.  I however was thinking of something down the line of a non-tube version of this:

In yellow I think this would also make a good hopper pattern.

Nice job- I like the profile Morrish hopper gives to the fish, in larger sizes it's a great dropper fly.
