Heading up Sunday-Monday, are their Cicada's on the water? Taking the fly rod for some Bass and Bows', reckon I will throw some tube jigs on the spinning rod also, I will be fishing up canyon from Sheep Creek and most likely camp at Hideout or Jarvies, anyone been getting into them?

We have been staying at Cedar Springs for the last few days. The fish are full of cicadas. Oddly enough the bite is hot on top. We've been running pop gear with a silver or brass jake from 5'-8' down and catching one after another. We've landed many really healthy 3 lb bows this way.

looks a lot like salmon flies. the only cicadas I've seen were in south korea, and they were ugly big buggers, noisy like you couldn't believe. I'm up to Lucerne the 19-20th with a friend who fishes it a lot. lakers, kokes, and smallies, was looking at other options for my fly rod.

Most of the cicadas are hatching in the bottom 5-miles of the reservoir and top 2-miles of the river. Good hatches in that localized area though. I've also observed some awesome flying ant swarms on the reservoir but that might be short lived. Either way, the bows and bass have been looking "up"!

Good luck, Ryno
