I'm glad someone brought up the October caddis. I often fish an orange stimulator as the dry on a dry/dropper or as the front fly on a double dry rig. Seems to work occasionally and it gives you an indicator for the little emergers and nymphs

October Caddis is a must have here in Washington state in the fall. You can dead drift them but you can also skate them. When it’s on, it on.

Great list! The one fly I might add, I’ve seen in both Michigan and the Catskills all thru September, is the flying ant. It can be a major “hatch”, with thousands on the water and fish rising everywhere in broad daylight or into the evening. Usually about a size 18, sometimes as big as 14, or as small as 22. If you don’t have the exact fly, a Griffith’s Gnat in the right size is a reasonable imitation. Grasshoppers work well up until the first hard freeze, too, and a larger stonefly pattern often imitates a hopper pretty well, maybe better than many more specific hopper patterns.

Nice & interesting video Tom 👍🎣. I manly use small minnow & shiner patterns or bug patterns for surface & sub terrestrial shrimp manly. Plus micro Crayfish patterns.

Do leech patterns work in the fall and spring? Leeches are more prevalent in the warmer months, correct?

Would it be OK or safe to fish the smaller micro streamer on a four weight rod ? Thanks

If you can cast it, you can fish it!

I would definitely fish that conehead muddler or similar streamer on a 4 weight. I’ve been doing this for years. It’s a little clunky, but works well. The D&D is a little too big to throw with a 4 weight, IMO.

Definitely a Drunk n Disorderly (D&D) but I'm guessing that may be the PG-13 name. KILLER fall fly for Maine brookies.

I would add to the list for Pennsylvania especially. Iron Lotus with a tan wire rib. Size 18 to 22 on jig hooks. Olives nymph. Tan sparkle pupa. Caddis time in the fall. Stone fly any you like. Iso or Slate Drake nymphs, emerges and spinner.

If a jig hook drifts hook up, why is the tail tied in to look upside down when drifting. When you help the fly up, it looked normal when you help it by the hook but that’s not the way it drifts. When tying, shouldn’t the tail go down inside the hook bend. Thanks
