I love the Goddard Caddis in large sizes for traveling sedges, stuck in the shuck hex emergers and in this case October Caddis. In Minnesota I used this early in the AM to imitate hex that were stuck in the nymphal shuck and motoring around in circles on the lakes surfaces trying to get free.
Goddard Caddis- October Caddis
TMC 5212 #8
Body/wing: deer hair spun and clipped
Underbody: Poly yarn looped arond the back and under the body and tied off in front. Vary the color to match the insect (traveling sedge, Hex and October caddis are all about the same size).
Antennae (optional)- stripped ackle stems
Hackle: Brown and grizzly mixed

Rich - I've only been able to witness and fish a travelling sedge hatch once in all the years I've been fishing - what were the rises like to the big hexaginia stuck in their shuck motoring around?
Much like traveling sedges- more like bass than typical trout rises. During the hex hatch big trout that were seldom or never caught otherwise would come out of hiding. The walleye fisherman generally hated the hex hatch as the walleye would be stuffed with nymphs and uninterested in the usual minnows and leeches.
I have only fished traveling sedges on Georgetown Lake it is quite predictable around Fourth of July, which is the same schedule as hex’s in N Minnesota.

Feeling well enough to pick up tying where I left off. I like a standard march brown/ grhe softhackle for the middle or top dropper positions when I'm not using a beadhead on point. Sz. 12, sparse and fuller versions.
