Just tied 3 of these up! Very nice and convenient pattern! My local fly shop is selling them for $4.50 each (and running out in prep for brood x). I had all these materials easily on hand, amd was able to make what i think is a better looking cicada! Thank you!

Nice tie. I think I will be trying this for the cicadas in New Zealand but probably an olive version as that's the main colour here.

I have watched a lot of these cicada tying videos and decided this is the best.

Is there a recipe with material list? So many unanswered questions....where do I find precut foam? Is there a model or cutter size I should find? What’s the thickness of the foam?...leg thick, medium or thin?

[@smittysflybox]

We do a monthly fly tying box where we supply all of the materials. We have our own cutter so unfortunately there isn't a cutter on the market for this particular pattern. We use 3mm black foam you can get at a craft store. I hope that helps
