Don't hear or see any at my house and like Rick said, that is not a complaint. They have been here for weeks. Last week was the most intense. Walking out of the house to get into my car I have one to two of them land on me. I think it’s going to be crazy next month. My youngest thought they were cool for a while…no she hates them. 😂 Quillback and BilletHead 2 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Miloshewski Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Not a single one in Kansas City either. Driving back last week on 13 at 70 mph, windows up, radio playing, you could still hear the droning of them. Pretty neat. Buddy caught this channel out of the Sac this weekend.

Gavin Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Think they have peaked, less than 50 in the pool skimmer this AM. Fish may be looking up after they are gone so we can hope for that. Quillback, snagged in outlet 3 and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snagged in outlet 3 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I was at tablerock dam area for almost 3 weeks. Not a peep there. Came home today and they are thick here. I’m on the phone with HOA as I type this😂 BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I've been cutting strips for the gunwales on my canoe. The tablesaw sure excites them. They come swarming. Honestly had over 10 each on me and my neighbor who's saw I was using. With a few buzzing around. What's kinda of strange is, you catch one, throw it, it will return almost perfectly to the zone of which you caught it. Sort of like nature's own boomerang.

fishinwrench Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I had the air box cover off a 4 cylinder outboard yesterday, syncing the carburetor linkage, and just as I blipped the throttle a cicada flew by and got sucked down the throat of carb #2. The motor immediately started running like crap, and I had to remove the carb and use hemostats to get the little bastard out of the reed cage. Had I not been looking at the time, and saw the cicada get sucked in there......I would have been chasing that sudden issue for Lord knows how long. snagged in outlet 3 and grizwilson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
