[LEFT]looks like would be a big meal for a hungry brown. Anyone toss flies that look like these? Care to share a photo?

Have never had the pleasure of fishing a Cicada hatch, but they are a favorite fly for the Green in Utah. Lots of patterns out there if you do a quick search, some pretty simple incorporating foam (think short squat Chernobyl Ants). Youtube.com has some videos, but the a lot of the examples seem unnecessarily complicated, especially for such a specialized hatch. There are no Cicadas in my area so I’ve never added any to my box, but Charlie Craven argues a Fat Albert would probably work: http://www.charliesflyboxinc.com/flybox/print.cfm?parentID=138
I ran into one once. Had not anticipated it, so wasn’t prepared. Looked in my boxes for anything even faintly close. Best I could come up with was a big dry stonefly. It worked.
