Black Foam Cicada — The Dry Fly That Floats Like It Owes You Money

Summer terrestrials are obnoxiously effective, and the Black Foam Cicada is here to exploit that. This stout, high-riding dry fly mimics cicadas so well trout will question their life choices. Built for anglers who like their flies buoyant and their casts decisive — AXG Life, Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Color: Matte black foam body for a realistic silhouette on the surface.
• Material: Durable foam body with bright white hair wings for visibility and lifelike profile.
• Style: Stout, high-riding dry fly designed for summer terrestrial patterns.
• Versatility: High-floating design doubles as an indicator — easily fish a dropper below.

Performance & Benefits

This fly is built to sit proudly on the water and say “eat me” without sinking like your patience on a bad day. The foam construction keeps it floating even after messy landings, while the bright white hair wings give trout a clean target to lock onto. Use it on top for aggressive surface takes, or rig a dropper beneath and let it do double duty as an indicator — especially handy when the fish are fussy or you forgot to bring two flies (we’ve all been there).

What this actually means for you: more visible hookups, fewer lost flies to the drink, and a better chance of turning stuck weekends into legit fishing stories. Designed to handle summer heat, heavy water movement, and questionable late-night decisions, the Black Foam Cicada performs when it counts.

• Floats high and stays visible — no constant retrieval to re-seat the fly.

• Durable foam and hair construction for repeat casts and fewer replacements.
