I stayed with a friend north of Charlottesville who lives on a private pond this last weekend, and the brood ii cicadas were out! I've attached a photo of the bottom of the cicada, which you should focus on if you are tying an imitation because that is what the fish often see when they land on the water... as you can see my pattern was pretty successful! Again, no movement or twitching of the fly was necessary, just cast it against the bank under a bush or tree and the fish came right up and ate it. The sunnies tend to whack it and the bass tend to sip it, funny enough. Wish I coulda had the opportunity to fish it on a trout stream, but alas, not this weekend.
