The following patterns were added to the Big Y Catalog for the month of October. For a complete list please visit our website or click here.

Atepe Bug	Some of the most realistic nymphs you will see. Easily imititates mayfly and stonefly nymphs. In attractor colors to help draw in a fishes attention.
Conehead Bunny Muddler	To catch huge trout nothing works more consistently then huge streamers. This pattern with plenty of wiggle and shake attracts the lunkers from Alaska to Argentina.
Crystal Bugger	A more flashy version of the regular Woolly Bugger. A great attractor pattern, inciter pattern, prepare for vicious strikes, and large fish. Use for every game fish under the sun, and virtually every location under the sun.
Cutter Caddis	Similar to an Elk Hair Caddis, kind of like a Comparadun, and a little like a parachute pattern. A combination of some of the most effective dry flies out there. The body of this pattern should sit right on the water, while the parachute styled hackle will keep this pattern afloat. Elk Hair wing will be make this pattern a little easier to spot. Give these a try during an hatch that contains olive looking bugs and it is sure to be successful.
Double Bead Stone	Stonefly nymphs live in clean moving water, and are an important feeding source for both trout and steelhead. Double the beads means double the sink rate. These guys should get near the bottom fairly quickly especially when compared to a traditional Kaufmann Stone. Juvenile steelhead gorge themselves on stonefly nymphs and are therefore imprinted on the returning adult steelheads.  A good indicator of steelhead holding areas will be the density of stonefly nymphs in the area. Therefore this pattern will work for steelhead as well as trout. Stonefly nymphs are very poor swimmers and are often knocked off rocks to float freely at the mercy of feeding fish. Use this pattern in faster moving water, year around, for fast vicious strikes. Stoneflies are only found in rivers.
Kiwi Beetle	Kiwi Beetle originated in New Zealand and has become a prolific terrestrial pattern. Peacock on the body provides a great iridescent. When the traditional foam beetle doesn't due the trick, put on one of these. Slight difference can be all it takes to hook into the big one. Beetles are loaded in protein, and fish recognize a nutritious treat when they see it. A great go to pattern, when nothing is hatching on the water. Beetles do sink, so let these go down.
Midge Surfer	Designed to be a "surfer” along the surface of the water. Yet upon closer inspection one realizes it can have may uses. Throw some Gink or Aquel on it and fish as a dry. No floatant should allow this pattern to sit in the subsurface, right in the midge sweet spot. Put on a versileader before trying this fly on and try swinging it, or dead drift it. Has the like of a Juju Baetis Flashback and wet fly, should be incredibly effective in the Mid-West and anywhere that has a larger midge population.
Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail-Beadhead	Something about hackled nymphs drive fish crazy. The extra bugginess can give nymphs a buggy and leggy look. Soft hackle is also used to give off an emergence look. The standard Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail has been a go to pattern for many fly fishermen across the country. Now tied with a bead for extra weight and attraction. Fish in a dead drift, but be sure to allow this one to swing up toward the surface and the end of your drift.
Tungsten Beadhead Woolly Bugger	Use this pattern everywhere fish live!  Works great for all game fish including Steelhead, Salmon, Trophy Trout, Bass, you name it. Tied with that great krystal flash accented life-like marabou tail. Counter wrapped with copper wire for even more flash and extra durability. A must have for every fly angler. Great searching pattern, aggressive strikes, bigger than average fish. Alaska to Argentina, don't be caught without it. The #1 selling pattern overall. Now tied in smaller sizes and with tungsten beads. This are great for swinging, and areas with deep fast water.
Turd-Beadhead	One of those patterns with an unknown origin and tons of variations. Our pattern contains a double bead, this should allow the nymph to sink  more evenly. Additionally the double bead adds extra attractant, and a mid belly look that can make these bugs appear pregnant or "stuffed”. Much like a Pat’s Rubber Legs and should be fished in scenarios that Pat’s fish well. Should be particularly effective on rivers with Stonefly nymphs and Hellgrammites.
Warrior-Beadhead	It is said that you are supposed to match the hatch. Some days though there is no hatch, or no matter how close you get the fish still won't hit your fly. When that happens it is time to reach for an attractor pattern. Small like a midge, but with colors fish cannot resist. Try as a dropper or run behind another nymph. A Utah favorite.
Wog	Legendary pattern for silvers in Alaska Pop them, skate them, dead drift them. "Hammerhead" portion on the head really helps push water and create noticeable surface disturbance.
