It’s the Great Pumpkin! No, it’s the October Caddis …
The last hatch of supersized bugs for this season has started on Back Lake, as the “October Caddis” have been making their appearance this week. Unlike the much better known and anticipated Hexagenia hatch, October Caddis (also known as fall caddis or the giant orange sedge) come off in a sporadic fashion most of the fall until our fishing season ends on October 15.
