Spent Wing SS Cicada Fly for Brood XIII & XIX

Terrestrial

Tied By Darrell Olson

Hook: Kona SPH #6 popper hook

Thread: 140 Denier, Hot Orange

Materials-

tail: Hot Orange Yarn

body: Black, Extra Small Double Barrel Popper

wing: SS Cicada Wings

head: Black, Extra Small Double Barrel Popper

Notes:

I would suggest that you start with the cicada head by assembling the 3 legs and glueing the rhinestone eyes. Trim 3mm off of the nose of the popper head.

You can also use your favorite dome eyes instead of the Rhinestones.

Brood XIII & XIX Cicada

Tied to mimic cicadas, it’s ready for the monumental 2024 double brood emergence. With meticulously replicated insect wings and body, this fly ensures unmatched realism, enticing trophy trout and bass during the cicada hatch.
