This is nt version of an October Caddis. Excuse the gum chewing. I had quite smoking and I needed to overdose on Nicolette’s to keep from crazy. 
This video was taken at the Caddis Fly Shop in Eugene. The instructions for tying this fly are pretty good.

 

Mr Brooks,

please read the first post in this thread on page one that explains this this thread, love your fly, but you should post it on the October flys of the month thread. 
Chalenge fly thread rules:

1. Tyer that accepts challenge has up to 5 days to tie the fly and post a picture, some leeway will be allowed on the number of days.

2. Only the first tyer that accepts the challenge will tie and post a picture of the fly

3. After posting pictures of the completed fly, that poster then names a new challenge fly.

4. Any version of the challenge fly is acceptable 

5. Have fun, this is not a competition, just a way to see some different versions of flies

6. Flies should be tied "fresh" for the challenge you accepted. Don't pull 'em out of the already tied box.

The next challenge fly to be accepted is :  Wally Wing Hatch Matcher. 
Whoever accepts the challenge to tie this fly, then ties a version of it and posts a pic with the recipe. Then that tier gets to name the next fly to be tied. 
Reference the challenge fly list for the previous flys that have been tied, try to pick a pattern not tied.
