Pine Fire October Caddis Nymph tying Kit

Meet the Pinefire October Caddis Nymph The fly built to move like the real thing — and get there fast.

Hook / Curiosity Intro

There's a reason guides on the water this October keep tying the same fly onto their leaders. It's not flashy. It's not gimmicky. It combines a warm apricot body, a lively natural pine squirrel thorax, and a contrasting black beaver collar to create movement most imitations can't replicate — the kind that turns a curious look into a confident take.

Some flies sit still in the water. This one breathes.

We're not going to tell you it'll change everything. Watch it tie, watch it fish, and decide for yourself.

🎥 Watch It Come Together

Materials sourced and measured for a full run of flies — no guesswork, no substitutions.

Why It Works

The 3.5mm slotted tungsten cone gets this fly into the feeding zone fast, while the pine squirrel fibers pulse and breathe in the current — mimicking the natural movement of an October caddis larva. Fish it as a point fly on a Euro rig, beneath an indicator, or as a weighted dropper whenever October caddis are active.

Tie it once, and you'll understand why it's earned a permanent spot in our box this time of year.
