Fly of the Month – Louie’s NZ Cicada

The tape wings on my cicada may come apart after a few fish have eaten it. This causes the fly to spin when cast, twisting up the tippet. But when it hits the water the tippet unwinds and causes the fly to flip over and over – just like a struggling cicada. Whack! The best presentation is to plop the bug down loudly, then dead drift it. Don’t set the hook too quickly when a fish rises. Let it take it down and then tighten up. It’s a lot like dry fly fishing for steelhead. Set too soon and you’ll miss it.
