Soft Hackle Wet (Partridge & Orange)

#12#14#16

As caddis pupae and emergers are active from spring through fall, this wet fly is excellent for swinging through the currents to imitate vulnerable insects, especially below the October Caddis hatch on the Green River.

Woolly Bugger (Olive)

#4#6#8

Streamer fishing is often the preferred method in fall on the Green River, and this versatile pattern imitates leeches and baitfish, which are consistent food sources for predatory fish.
