They will! One problem I've encountered with this fly though: depending on how the wings are tied, it can tend to spin itself up in twists on the tippet. But if you can get it out when they're chomping cicadas, then it will get bitten, and hard!
...thanks, we're not after fishing advice, all we need is someone with strong thighs to carry gear and a thick skin to put up withverbal abuse. If you think you're up to it...
nice job .... looking forward to catching up with you in the new year ... must get you make a video tying a lumo W/B for those lake and deep pool fishing trips!
During the last trip we made the decision to fish totally barbless, which meant we had to either use barbless hooks(not always available in the size you want!) or usually just bending the barb down on the hook.

Good one, heres another cicada pattern I thought of.
But I might suggest putting some super glue so the foam doesn't spiral around the hook.

If you see one fly fishing film this year, make sure it is not this!
Here's what the critics had to say:
"You're kidding me aren't you?" D. Salter, Devon.
"Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks." J. Clarke, New Zealand.
"A masterpiece." Prof. L. Azarus, Harvard Insomnia Research Clinic.

Very nice!!!
That pheasant from the intro - was that introduced to the log burner?
Looking forward to your next production - man it's gonna be tough, all that sunshine, open spaces, fishing every day - we'll be thinking of you.....
Hope the cicada does it's job!!

It's a shitty job, but somebody has got to do it...and that pheasant is on borrowed time!

Thanks Weezmeister,your positive vibes are good! You didn't go to sleep during it, did you? I know it isn't as action packed as the usual...
