Cicada Dry Fly That Will NEVER Sink! | F-22 Cicada | Fly Tying Tutorial

In this fly tying tutorial Cheech ties the F-22 Cicada!
Cicadas are kind of big clumsy bugs with a weird profile that ends in a little point in the back. This fly uses a newer technique to add body profile without bulk. I splay the wings out on this one to give the appearance of a cicada trying to lift off. This style can be built into many other foam dry flies as well! Happy tying.

Cicadas with Orange eyed orange tipped wings with a black body in the Ozarks last weekend. There were so many cicadas on the water and I saw a number of trout come up and smash them but I hadn’t tied up any so I was out of luck. The noise that they made in the trees was deafening I’ve never heard it so loud.

Thank you for showing this pattern. I have all the materials to make this one, and it's different from the cicada patterns I've been making. I especially like the underbody and wings.

What a cool bug! Haven’t seen any cicadas in Northern VA yet. That means I still have time to tie some up!

Great fly! I have one question the materials list calls for 3mm black high float foam, but you never mention it in the video. Where is it used?

[@teebird8629]

I DESTROY with this fly!!!

[@wayneessary7768]

What hook and size material did you use

[@stevetalak6079]

Thank you. You'd think this would be one of the first things mentioned.
