    Two years ago, the Green River had cicada through the first week in August. Typically, the hatch only lasts two or three weeks around the first part of June. Some thought that a wet spring helped with the emergence cycle in 2019. Soil temperature coupled with moist, softer soil provided a prolific emergence of cicada that particular year. These are the times I look forward to fishing; throwing big dries to aggressive, reckless, and engaging fish. It certainly beats watching a bobber and rates right up there with the salmon fly hatch. I have included a photo of our lunch table on the river from two years ago. It is from an August trip where the bugs appeared to be everywhere.

    When I was a teenager in the mid Atlantic I remember one of these hatches. While a cicada locally they were called 17 year locusts. My Dad and I tried deer hair poppers on our local trout stream with no luck. Those things land with a smack! Wooly buggers did well fished upstream IIRC. What I remember most was how noisy the forest was.
