Philly 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2021 Time to break the pattern of excellently tied flies. There's a lot of noise up here about the arrival of Brood X, 17 year locust/cicada, coming sometime in May. I tied up 3 different patterns for the last "hatch" back in 2004. There was no "hatch" in the immediate area. One of the patterns caught me several bass, and frustrated a lot of sunfish. I found a couple of the other two patterns, but all I have of the one that caught fish are some fuzzy photos. It's a big fly. These are the largest of the cyclical cicadas. They measure about 1 1/2 inches long. My attempt to resurrect it. Maybe they'll show up this time. Hook: Mustad 3777BR, Size 30(Mustad's designation) Thread: Black 3/0 Body: 2 mm craft foam, Black and Orange Wing: Orange Mirror Image Legs: Spinner Bait Skirt layer Eyes: small orange map pins Still working on some bass flies. Trying to finish off some modern Calcasieu Pig Boats. An even dozen to put in the box. 2 more to go 8 in the box. Two others fit under crayfish patterns. Found it was easier to organize the box if I slipped a small rubber band over the body. Hook: Daiichi 2461, Size 3/0 Thread: color to match pattern Under body: sparkle chenille or other material tied on top of shank, 1 saddle hackle tied on each side of shank. Materials twisted together and wrapped on shank Outer body: Spinnerbait skirt Eyes: Living eyes Head: Thread(bullet shape) coated with UV resin One of the crayfish Pig Boats. They ride point up, but both came out too heavy for my taste. I was traumatized by getting hit on the back of my head by large clouser minnow when I first started fly fishing salt water. Let's bring this to an end. What I did for my crayfish pattern was drop the spinner bait skirt, went to a smaller lead dumbbell eye and a lighter hook, an Eagle Claw 202, Aberdeen Crappie hook in 3/0. The only difference between this body and my standard Calcasieu Pig Boat body is the hackle is tied in stem first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
