Cicadas are big and noisy insects that emerge from the ground and have unique hatching cycles, and during summer months, they become a prime target for fish. These insects appear with the onset of the warm summer, and once hatched, they offer anglers a plentiful supply of food as bait, making them an essential addition to any fly box.
Here, at Stone Creek Outfitters, we understand the importance of this hatch. We provide our clients with a rich assortment of fly fishing flies for different water conditions and types of water fleas, including cicada patterns. These seasonal insects have been carefully imitated in our products, providing anglers with a way to enhance their fishing by using our high-quality products.
Significance of our Nymphs
These nymphs come with a foam body that makes them float in water without sinking, even when you are in a water torrent. With sizes ranging from (#08 - #14), the flies incorporate bright white hair wings, making them easily distinguishable by anglers from afar. They float exceptionally well and can be used as both the Adams dry fly and an indicator fly, tied on a straight dropper system.
Also, the high-floating design helps them stay on the surface for a long time, attracting the fish. These flies are perfect for terrestrial fishing in the summer due to easy visibility and multiple uses.
How to Use the Cicada Nymph
To use these nymphs, you need to follow the specific steps mentioned below.
- Use a clinch knot to fasten the nymph firmly to your leader.
- The nymph can be used solo or in conjunction with a dropper fly underneath.

Usage Tips
There are specific tips you can use while fishing, some of which are mentioned below.
- In rivers, cast the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the water.
- Track the fly's journey on the water by keeping an eye on its bright white wings.
