What to fish on the Caney Fork in November
- Beadhead Caddis Pupa #10-14: Emerger/pupa: the TWRA report says emergers were catching fish.
- Woolly Bugger #6-8: Olive. The other pattern the TWRA report names.
- Elk Hair Caddis #10-14: Sunny days, only when the caddis are hatching.
Caddis are the fall hatch, and TWRA's biologist said dries were worth it on sunny days when the caddis are active. Otherwise emergers and woolly buggers did the work.

What's hatching
- Generation sets the day: light-colored streamers when the water is high, nymphs as it falls, and nymphs and midges on low water. · southeasternfly.blogspot.com
- Blue-winged olives hatch January through March and again in October and November (size 16 or so). · Perfect Fly Store
- Classic hatches are rare here. Guides lean on sowbugs, scuds, midges and black flies, with streamers while the generators run; caddis hatches are sporadic, mostly in fall. · Big Y Fly Co
- Caddis were hatching as far up as Lancaster, and fly anglers did well with emergers and woolly buggers; dries on sunny days when the caddis are active. About 6,000 rainbows in October, about 1,500 Snake River finespot cutthroat in late October and about 30,000 fingerling browns in late November. · TWRA fishing report
