| CA Cicada Pattern with Maxima Chameleon 0x - 2x tippet. You need this to cast this big fly. The fish are not the least bit particular when you fish these! |

| Fishing Cicadas - Okay, you already know that there isn't going to be any technical nonsense at The Contented Angler and realizing that there are 3,000 species and annual, 7 year, 13 year and 17 year emergences, and the size depends on the climate, I'm not going to over research these. Remember what Einstein said: "Any intelligent fool can make something more complicated" So let's start with the setup. A 5 or 6wt will make the casting more enjoyable and since this large fly has plenty of foam on top and is tied on a 3xl size 2 - 4 nymph hook, some 0 - 2X Maxima Chameleon tippet will serve you well. The fish are not the least bit fussy during this emergence! Something big hits the water and they're on it! If you hear the Cicadas in the trees, you can be sure they will hit this fly and they will hit it days after the Cicadas are gone! See the page below. |
| CA Cicada Hook: Size 6 - 8, 3x long. Not a light wire dry fly hook. Black 4 - 5mm foam. Wing: Orange dyed deer body hair. and fl. orange crystal flash. Legs: Orange and black tarantula legs. You can also tie this with orange body with black foam pulled over the top. |
