the cicada bite

taxid:
Maybe it's the farm pesticides?

Someone did tell me you need to be a forested area. Whether that's the case I don't know.

rivereddy:
Very spotty here as well

Just got back from a lake in Henry county, not Summit, that was in the middle of the cicada breakout.
We noticed mats of dead/dying cicadas wherever the water was calm.  Every now and then we'd hear
a large "SLURP" and see the splash where a fish picked one off of the surface. The gills and redears
are both on the nest and any shallow water that wasn't too weeded up yielded immediate hits.  We
caught good numbers on beemoth released all of them.

It must be noted that every shallow flalt that we paddled over (canoe) was speckled with spawning redds.
We literally saw hundreds of them.  It should also be noted also that some of the female bluegills caught
were bulging with eggs yet were only 4 1/2 -5 inches long.  Same for the redear.

Bug noise is picking up around here.  Another trip to the river is called for.

fish on,
