Variations on a theme

Nice set.

What we call October Caddis in my neck of woods are significantly smaller, @ #14, but I bet those would fish well anyway. 

I like #2 with the longer legs,  very similar to Gartside's Sparrow

The recipe I based these on actually calls for a 12 but I absent mindedly tied them on a 10.:wacko:

I think I like #2 as well.

I didn't mean to imply you tied it in the wrong size, just that out West yours are much bigger.

I figured that was the case.

This is the pattern I loosely based them on:

Western October Caddis (Dicosmoecus) are quite large. Troutnut.com says 30mm long for adults. http://www.troutnut.com/hatch/2594/Caddisfly-Dicosmoecus-October-Caddisflies

A standard size 10 hook might even be a little small.
