Cicadas 2011
« on: March 06, 2011, 01:02:51 PM »
Brood XIX Cicada is supposed to return this year.  This is the same brood from 1998, when cicadas at my house then were just insane.  I remember fishing local rivers where there would be literally piles of them in the water under low-hanging branches, and smallmouth picking them off as they floated out into the main channel...

Yes they were very heavy in 1998.  I was under the impression that 1998 was multiple broods.
