Default Penns and Cicadas

be furious action for awhile, the fish quickly get stuffed and stop
feeding. They'll eventually start up again, but it takes patience to wait
them out.



I've seen this with Green Drakes on the HFork and Salmon flies on a couple
rivers ... bugs on the water everywhere but no fish to be seen, they're
simply stuffed ... I would think ( spelled g-u-e-s-s ) that with cicadas it
might not be as likely as with aquatic insects ... there may be billions of
them around, but how many on the water ?
