Clark’s Cicada features a dense, high-buoyancy foam construction designed for consistent surface performance over extended use. Its compact yet full-bodied cicada silhouette produces a wide footprint on the water, allowing the fly to sit naturally in the surface film. Light surface texturing and segmented shaping enhance realism without introducing unnatural shine. Soft rubber legs provide lifelike movement even when the fly remains stationary, creating subtle ripples that draw attention. The fly’s balanced design ensures proper orientation during casts and controlled retrieves. Durable thread wraps and a solid hook foundation maintain structural integrity, making Clark’s Cicada reliable for repeated presentations near banks, seams, and overhanging cover.
