The place where I fish has tons of black crickets in the grass. Most come out at night . I think the Bluegill etc must feed happily on them. Would the "Madam X' tied with black deer hair and black rubber legs be a good imitation of this critter?? I would fish it wet. Probably put some lead wrapping on it and fish it with a VOSI(Vertically Orientated Strike Indicator) http://www.laflyfish.com/flies/vosi.php

Thanks!
