Posts: 3233		After a couple of weeks of driving, listening, and testing the waters my buddy Bill and I finally found fish rising to cicadas. We caught good numbers of fish and a few fish in the high teens, with one over twenty inches. It felt good to have all the work finally pay off.

Posts: 3233		Thanks, Jason. In 2008 we had epic fishing on the Little Juniata. Everybody's been looking for a spot to fish this year's brood (Brood X, previously hatching in 2004), but it's been hard to find the right combination of bugs and good water. It also took a while for the fish to find the bugs and to know what to do with them. Last week the fish weren't responsive. This week seems to have been the right one. It will be over soon, though.

Posts: 420		Sounds like fun, I haven’t seen any and since I have a pretty good case of tinnitus I doubt I would hear them. My folks will be visiting from Arizona for two weeks so I may look at some night time mousing when I get back to it.
Have fun, Mike.
