The Razor Foam October Caddis is a fly that I've been tweaking for the past year, and I finally have the pattern finalized. The CDC collar not only gives the fly lots of movement, but paired with the foam body, it allows it to sink rather slow. You can use a tungsten, or brass bead on this one, depending on how fast you want the descent. Remember, the October caddis can get really big, so make sure you check the size of your local waters before tying it. I have added a full tutorial, which can be found here:
