October 2007:
This month finds us tons of great fishing throughout North America and undoubtedly the world.
Diversity of species is the name of the game right now and through October. This is just a sampling of what is going on in the great world of fly fishing. We are featuring the following patterns:
Egg-Sucking Leech- For everywhere Steelies are turning upstream, and also for those late Alaska trips this pattern is hard to beat.
In many places October means Chinook and Coho be ready with the Flash Fly, Popsicle, Comets, Steelhead Egg-Sucking Leech.
Tricos-Tricos are hatching everywhere now, if you are near a Trico river consider yourself blessed, (sometimes you may feel cursed), but catching a large fish on a small fly with light tippet is a skill and a thrill. Click Tricos, Parachute Tricos, CDC Trico emerger, CDC Comparadun Trico, Poxyback Trico.
Sulphurs- Still out, still tempting, still catching fish. Sulphurs, Parachute Sulphurs, Sulphur Emerger.
Streamers-Often over looked, but large fish love the cool white water this time of year. And a streamer is just the ticket to get their satiated fins swimming. Some great fall favorites for Browns and others are Marabou Muddler, Sculpins and of course Woolly Buggers.
Green Butt Skunk- One of many steelie flies waiting to be cast towards this annual west coast treat.
BWO's-The hatch that just keeps on giving. BWO, BWO Thorax, Parachute BWO, Foam Post Emerger BWO, Spinner BWO, Loop Wing Emerger BWO, BWO Wet Fly, Pheasant Tail, Poxyback BWO, BH Pheasant Tail Emerger.
Hoppers-One thing fish and kids have in common they both love to catch these annual treats. Foam Hopper or Dave's Hopper or Parachute Hopper
Florida Saltwater-A smorgasboard can be found and near shore fishing can be explosive for snook, tarpon, jack, reds, etc. Sea Habit Herring, Surf Candy, Hot Flash Minnow, and other Sea Habits as well can be tossed to this melting pot of fishing activity.
Ants-Fall like pennies from heaven. Flying Ants or Turcks Power Ant
Caddis-Our summer favorite has yet to fold up their tent wings. Elk Hair Caddis, EZ Caddis, Henryville Special, Goddard Caddis, Emergent Sparkle Pupa, Lawson Caddis Emerger, Caddis Larva, BH Caddis Pupa XCAddis, BH Caddis Poopah.
Orange Stimulators- For that October caddis hatch
Midges-Hatch everywhere late summer. Don't forget sub-surface midges; Disco Midge, RS2 Foamback, WD-40.
