Foam Cicada—attempted

[T. Wiles]

Here’s a good find.

Nice and creative use of materials, thanks for the step by step.

What brand of marking pens do people use when changing the color of materials?

Scott –

You can buy like a 128 pack of permanent markers at most Sam’s Clubs for $12.

Travis –

I think the distinction between your version and mine is mostly in the fact that I just used one piece of foam.

Zach I layered the underbody with ultra chenille before applying the foam overbody and it definetly tapered the body better.

It was John’s Hyde that we were drifting in when we found the pods of fish–he’s the dude in the cowboy hat.  His bug, which we named the “Psychedelic Cicada,” really called the fish up from moving water with it’s bubble trail when it twitched on a popper retrieve.  This fly got us into the fish and caught some of our biggest. The Butterscotch Estaz body gave the fly some nice sparkle in the sunlight.

We’ll hit another river soon John.
