I hate picky fish...
Thank you all for the information. I will try to rememeber to bring this subject up again NEXT year when it's supposed to happen 😄
There are extra points awarded for posting a photo of a supposed catch and asking if it is stocked or wild. 😉
I’m just hoping to make it until the next emmergence. I’ll only be 91. I hope I can remember where I left my waders.From what I've seen, a particular brood appears in the same locations each time. But it only happens every 17 years. So, by the time you're 90 years old, you should be able to get it pretty well figured out.
The carp fishing was stellar.Even a few years ago when they were supposed to emerge in central PA and they actually did emerge and were everywhere, the fish didn't care and the fishing was lousy.
Glad you found em.The carp fishing was stellar.
Dont know if you're just being sarcastic - but I had great fishing during that cicada emergence several years ago.Even a few years ago when they were supposed to emerge in central PA and they actually did emerge and were everywhere, the fish didn't care and the fishing was lousy.
I am not kidding at all. They were extremely thick at my parents' place (WW Jam Waters) and were floating down the Juniata River in hordes. The fish didn't care in the least.Dont know if you're just being sarcastic - but I had great fishing during that cicada emergence several years ago.
The key was simply finding where they were.

I dont know how available they would have been to fish on a large stream like the Juniata, other than perhaps one the edges.I am not kidding at all. They were extremely thick at my parents' place (WW Jam Waters) and were floating down the Juniata River in hordes. The fish didn't care in the least.
The cicadas were floating all over the water everywhere. The cicadas were in the middle of the river. The last and only time I ever saw fish eating them, I was on a boat in the middle of Lake Raystown nowhere near the shore. Cicadas were all over the water and fish were eating them.I dont know how available they would have been to fish on a large stream like the Juniata, other than perhaps one the edges.
Just like terrestrial fishing usually isn't great on large stream too.
