They do come out every year, to a small extent. The Brood X group is
know for the massive hatch and covering roads and windshields. It is
also know as one of the weirdest dry fly hatches in existence.
Evidently, they are so big that only the big fish can eat them. They
plop on the water (through poor flying skills) and buzz around.
At Penns this year, we may be at the start of this. I'm gonna have
quite a few in my fly box.
The last big hatch I was through was during my college graduation in 1987.
I think its the same brood. They were everywhere
