Clark's Cicada fly pattern - Cicada dry image

Description

Clark's Cicada, designed by Umpqua signature tyer Reid Clark, is a dry fly created to imitate the unmistakable cicada during their seasonal emergence. Known for its bold profile, durable construction, and exceptional floatation, this fly is a go-to pattern when cicadas are active, particularly during their periodic hatches every few years.

Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.

Pro Tip

Pause and Twitch: Mimic a struggling cicada by occasionally twitching the fly slightly during the drift. This action often triggers aggressive strikes from opportunistic fish.
