Black Foam Cicada

Black Foam Cicada

A bold and highly effective terrestrial pattern, the Black Foam Cicada is designed to imitate one of the most exciting summer food sources for trout. Built with a durable foam body and bright white hair wings, this fly rides high on the water and remains easy to track even in rough currents and challenging light conditions.

When cicadas are active, trout often feed aggressively on these large insects, creating some of the most explosive surface strikes of the season. The Black Foam Cicada is ideal for fishing along grassy banks, under overhanging trees, near shoreline structure, and anywhere terrestrial insects regularly fall into the water.

Its buoyant foam construction also makes it an excellent dry-dropper fly, capable of supporting larger nymphs while serving as a highly visible strike indicator.

Fishing Tips
Fish tight to grassy banks, overhanging trees, undercut edges, and shoreline structure with a natural drift. Add occasional twitches to imitate a struggling cicada. Particularly effective during summer cicada activity and whenever trout are targeting large terrestrial insects.
