A legendary caddis pupa pattern designed for big trout and heavy caddis hatches. The LaFontaine October Caddis Pupa is a proven bead head nymph inspired by Gary LaFontaine’s groundbreaking underwater observations of caddis behavior. Built to imitate the large October Caddis during its vulnerable pupal stage, this fly is a must-have for trout feeding subsurface during seasonal caddis activity.
The weighted bead head helps this pattern reach productive depths quickly, while the buggy body and lifelike profile imitate drifting pupae as they move toward emergence. Its realistic silhouette and subtle flash make it highly effective in freestone rivers, tailwaters, and larger western trout waters.
An essential fly for targeting trout during October Caddis activity and a dependable producer whenever fish are feeding on large subsurface insects.
Bring more confidence to every cast with premium, hand-tied flies built to perform wherever the water takes you. From quiet backwaters to fast-moving streams and coastal flats, these patterns are crafted with precision and made to last. Each fly is tied by skilled hands using high-quality materials and time-tested designs. With curated assortments and fair pricing, stocking your fly box is effortless. Made for anglers who take their time on the water seriously—and want gear that does the same.
