Grasshoppers or the lack of them in the Pacific NW
Yes Chris but my grandson caught a huge all light tan hopper with body 3
1/2 inches long in early September in SW Washington. Out here big Fall
hoppers usually are normally brown with yellow body and about 2 inches long.
FWIW we had a lot of leaf green colored tree frogs this summer. Leaf Green
Texas Bullfrogs was the go to fly for the teen aged boys in SW Washington.
It caught LM bass, SM bass, trout, bluegill and even catfish!
Maybe next year hoppers will be back in although the boys caught bass, trout
and bluegill on them but not the cats.
Good luck.

It seems to me that we had a lot fewer grasshoppers in both western and
eastern oregon/washington than previous years. I have always had a
great deal of the little guys in my garden and this year I only saw a
few. Anybody else notice the reduction in the population?
