By the way, anyone know where I can buy some cicada patterns? Looked
at all of the usual suspects and couldn't find much.

possibly, because no specific pattern is really necessary.
The fish feed on cicadas opportunistically, never seeing enough of them to
get the details locked in, I suspect.
Anyhow, fussing over patterns will not result in anything more successful
than a large cricket or other chunky, dark floating fly that can land with
an obvious "plop".

so, i should bring some western salmonfly patterns just for sport?
