[manudevil20]

Hey everybody. I am looking to see if there has been any reports lately of the Mormon Crickets were still out. I am gonna go do some catfishing tonight and hoping i can go find some beforehand that is close by to me. I am in Caldwell and usually fish the Parma area. Also does anybody know if you can buy them?

The one's I saw up at Brownlee were way bigger than those. Ron

They start out small and get bigger as they eat everything in sight.

That might be it. I know when I have seen them they are late summer and huge. Ron

Them are way different then what im thinking. The ones im thinking of are about 4 or 5" long are redish orange in color and kinda look like a giant ant.

I was posting to Jeremy about the one's he saw that looked like ants. Ron

[mudsucker]

Ahh, I see. The thought of a 4-5" ant is fairly terrifying.

Some places sell them frozen. I saw them at Sportsman's last year, but I haven't checked lately.
