Small dry
Chernobyl Cicada
Foam attractor and dropper platform
TroutSurface
Chunky multi-foam cicada attractor that floats a dropper and fools cicada-feeders in fast water.
Fish this when
Fast, broken water in cicada season, fished as a searching attractor with a nymph or smaller dry hung beneath it.
Why it works
The oversized foam bulk stays buoyant through turbulence, doing double duty as a big meal on its own and a visible indicator for the dropper underneath.
