Gavin Posted March 5 Posted March 5 They will start crawling out of the ground once the soil temps reach the mid 60's. Late April or May when the morels are about done. They burrow out, crawl up a treee, crack their nymph shell and emerge a creamy white with tan orange eyes...They color up dark in about an hour as their wings unfold. It is kinda cool to watch that process. JD has the idea....It is the splat/smack. Paddle down river, look for a tree LOADED with cicada's and slap a bass popper with rubber legs under that tree. It does not have to look like remotely like a cicada, but it has gotta smack. Adding a little weight and epoxy to your bugs increases the smack. Good luck. Daryk Campbell Sr and dpitt 2

snagged in outlet 3 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 The last one around here was great for fishing.... At first. Then the water was covered in them and the fish didn't respond to them at all. Kinda like a shad kill. dpitt 1

Gavin Posted March 6 Posted March 6 We had a double brood in the 1990’s and the fish would get full quick. The single brood 10+ years ago was better. There will be allot of big bugs falling in the water, but buy some ear plugs. They are LOUD! dpitt, trythisonemv, grizwilson and 1 other 4
fishinwrench Posted March 6 Posted March 6 What are they basing this hatch prediction on? If it's just "time" then they're just being stupid. Cicada's hatch every year, to a degree. I feel like trying to accurately predict a massive substantial hatch is like playing roulette. We'll see..... 🤔 Horsefly's, grasshoppers, and junebugs were notably scarce around here last year......and nobody bothered to predict THAT !
Maverickpro201 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Back in 2013, wife and I had been traveling. We were coming east out of Arizona into New Mexico. There was a Grasshopper hatch that year. Big ones. They were everywhere. My Ram dually was covered with hoppers. My 38' Mobile Suite 5th wheel was covered with them hoppers. You could feel and hear them crunching under the tires. You could hardly see the lines on the road they were so thick. This went on for over 40 miles. I ran out of windshield wiper fluid because of them. It was hell washing them off also the next day at a RV park. They were flying and on the ground everywhere. Never saw so many at one time. It was in September that year. n snagged in outlet 3 1
Gavin Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Yes there are Annual Cicadas, they are black & green mostly with some white on the belly. They are common in late summer, per my pool skimmer bucket surveys. snagged in outlet 3 1
Maverickpro201 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 When we were kids, my Oma/grandma would give us sowing thread. We would tie the thread to them and fly them around in a circle. fishinwrench 1
