Cicada Dry Fly(3)

The Cicada Dry Fly is a highly effective pattern. It is used to imitate the large, clumsy cicadas that often fall into the water during their active season. This fly is particularly popular during the summer months when cicadas are most abundant.

Key Features:

• Appearance: The Cicada Dry Fly is designed to mimic the bulky body and fluttering wings of a real cicada. It typically features a foam body for buoyancy. Also with realistic legs and wings made from materials like rubber or synthetic fibres.
• Materials: Common materials include foam for the body, rubber legs, and synthetic or natural fibers for the wings. The fly is often tied in colors that match natural cicadas, such as black, brown, or green.
• Fishing Technique: This fly is best used on the surface, where it can be dead-drifted or twitched to mimic the struggling movements of a cicada that has fallen into the water.

Why It’s Effective:

• Realistic Imitation: The size and appearance of the Cicada Dry Fly closely resemble natural cicadas, making it irresistible to trout and other fish.
• High Visibility: The foam body keeps the fly floating high on the water, making it easy for both the angler and the fish to spot.
• Versatility: This fly can be used in various water conditions, from rivers and streams to lakes and ponds
