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.
