17-Year Cicada fly

From Josh Price:
“This is a video of how I tie a 17-year Brood X cicada fly. This year, 2021, they are set to emerge where I live. If you have ever witnessed this emergence, then you know it is quite a phenomenon. If you haven’t, you are in for a buggy treat–the number of these cicadas is mind boggling. Every species of fish around gorges on these things once they start to fall in the water.”

Ultra Thread 210, fire orange
