In the Halloween spirit, Hogan Brown from Loon Outdoors ties his Hot Orange Trout Spey, a spooky-season spin on Ralph Cutter’s Creamsicle October Caddis fly pattern. Perfect for swinging through riffles and runs when October Caddis or tan Caddis are active, this pattern is simple, effective, and packed with movement. Hogan breaks down each material choice, from the bonefish hook base to the hen hackle finish, showing how to create a versatile trout spey pattern that shines in fall conditions.
