Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2004 Thanks for the reminder! Carp and bass love these guys. You can make some nice patterns using packed deer hair or foam bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanvaettir 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2004 I used a pattern called a Green River Cicada (Foam, Crustal Flash and deer hair) and did great. Trout that are normally really wary will hammer a big cicada plopped on top of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Will and I have done some very nice balsa bugs for the cicada hatch.....gonna have to chuck 'em with an 8 wt, but the results should be explosive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE*A 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I'm pumped!!!!..........they should start appearing in 4-6 weeks. I've tried several patterns. I started out with some "madam x's" in black w/ orange bucktail/flashabou wings and orange/black elastic legs...... and recently made up some foam poppers........not nearly as nice as BDH's..........hopefully still work though.

Guest Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Can yall give me some good patterns? I`m gettin excited. Apparently, we`re just a couple weeks from our hatch. I`m gettin excited. My dad says they`re everywhere, and they just cover you up. That`s why there are turkey masks, gloves, hats, and long pants and long sleeve shirts.
