Thanks for watching - Did you drink apple juice boxes in high school?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

@@slickydicky it just may lead to a career selling stupid stickers is all.

[@jessebainter5269]

Just high school? I'm pushing 40 and I still do, I even steal my kids when they're not looking.

[@dixienormous1000]

I'm a little older. All we had was milk cartons back in the day. They forced us to drink that because - "Milk, it does a body good." I do, however like stickers. LOL I've got bumper stickers on my truck, like:
"My Hamster is smarter than your honor student"
&
"Don't act stupid. We have politicians for that."
Now, I'm gonna tie some Cicada flies.

[@vieuxacadian9455]

We emptied them and refilled it with bootleg Absinthe .

[@johnnylightning1491]

Well the brood is on us soon, or so I hear. Glad you're getting everyone prepared for it. I haven't seen any here in Michigan but you never know. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It's been game on around here for a little over a week now. Filming tomorrow!

[@MrRollingstone2518]

No apple juice. Love the breaking of the thread, do that too and it's good to see I'm not alone!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

We all do it! Thanks for watching.

[@shadygraves]

No such thing as juice boxes way back when I was in high school; milk cartons only.👴 Great looking bug. I've had some incredible days matching the cicada hatch for bass and bream in Central Alabama.🪰 150+ fish, mostly bass- largemouth, spotted, and redeye- all on the cicada imitation. Great days! 🎣

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Looks good enough to eat, or step on!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Depends on whether you are a fish or not.

[@michaeljones8905]

A big Stimulator is what we use in NZ. We have cicadas every year.

[@tomm6431]

I think MRO hit this out of the park. There comes a time when you want a simple, fast, guide fly pattern. I call them “Goodenoughs”. They catch fish.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottstafford3550]

What vise are you using? Nice fly.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

You’d have to check with Ryan at the shop on that. Looks like a Renzetti but not sure exactly. Call him or send him an email.

[@jonathanlahdenpera7929]

Hi guys

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Hi!

[@Paulpoission]

You guys have any luck on this “hatch”

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It's the most amazing fishing you will ever experience. We are doing some filming this week so stay tuned. Can also see our Social Media for updates as we get them from folks.

[@alexc9187]

"Cicada-rita..." LOL

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Good one!

[@stevenvaughn1679]

You make it look simple but I bet it's harder than it looks???

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Probably not but thanks. He’s not known for complicated ties.

[@FlyTyer1948]
