Tying And Fishing The Cicada, Holsinger's Fly Shop

It's Cicada time here at the shop. 2021 is the year for Brood X here on the east coast and our shop sits right on the north west edge of the hatch. The next hatch of cicadas is in the year 2025 here in Pennsylvania and is brood 14 which will cover the central part f the state to include the great trout streams like the Little J and Penns Creek. So Tie some of these patterns up and then file them away for the next couple of years because they will be back. In this video I first show you on the stream how I like to fish this pattern. Then, I head back and sit down and show you how I like to tie my variation of the pattern Greg Hoover came up with years ago. This has been a proven pattern and has been catching fish for me this year. I hope you enjoy this video and I will try my best to get on the stream and do some more videos like this one. Self filming is not an easy task on the water, so I don't do it as often as I should. If you need any of the materials for this pattern please head on over to our website, https://www.holsingersflyshop.com or you can be directed to the materials by clicking any of the links listed below in the materials list.
