It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for — when the Underground recognizes Exceptional Achievement in Naming a Truly Mediocre Dry Fly While Under the Influence of Medication.

First, a few words of thanks to everyone who took the time to enter: You’re all Sociopaths Winners.

Honestly, you people scare me, and if you think I’m moving because I want a bigger house, you’re sadly mistaken. I’m moving because many of you are clearly psychotic, and too many of you already know where I live.

Kudos aside, let’s waste no time.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Orange Tang by Freedog96150 (Archaic astronaut references kill me)

Last Chance Caddis by j. Dub

Orange Caddylicious by Burglar Bill

MISTAH OCTOBER by Paul Bruun (I’m a Dodger fan, but allowed this anyway)

Sloptober Caddis by Roger W (This name references my casting instead of the fly, but)

Rocktober Caddis by greg hall (A standard)

The RUNNERS UP (who will assume the title of winner should the winning name be unable to carry out its duties)

The Fluttering Cheeto by Kbarton10 (Strong — he should apply it immediately to his version of the fly)

Caddis Cadaverosus by Gerry (I’m a sucker for Latin humor)

Candy Corn Caddis by Alex (The L&T loves candy corn)

The WINNER!!

The Cantara Tanker by Dave Roberts (I couldn’t resist his “It kills fish all down the river” tagline — a stunning, politically incorrect, but damned funny reference to one of the unfunniest fisheries events of all time: the poisoning and sterilization of the Upper Sacramento River in 1991)

Roberts will soon take possession of my review copy of Mark D. Williams “So Many Fish, So Little Time” — a book whose writing I liked a lot.

Thanks to everyone who entered (and the Academy). Certainly, the list was the product of a great deal of intensive drug use drug abuse mind abuse creative thought, and big fun too.

See you on the Contest Trail, Tom Chandler
