Cicadas don't like infertile soils. They probably never occur in the real mountainous areas in the Laurel Highlands. I've seen this here in Centre and Clinton Counties. The cicadas are thick where the soils are good. Where the soil is thin, rocky, and acidic, you don't find cicadas.

[/quote Actually, they emerged in the Laurel Highlands two years ago - although they were very spotty. I remember driving in certain areas - seeing and hearing them. Then suddenly, it got quiet and I'd see none for awhile. Then suddenly, I'd start seeing them again. You're soil fertility factor would certainly help explain why that was. I did find fishable emergences of them along certain sections of Laurel Hill and Dunbar Creeks - and the Yough River

Seems like there might be some warmwater opportunities.
Some of you must remember the last time this brood came around. Did you find some good fishing? If so, where?

Last time I fished them was above Ingleby on Penns......Used a small Hedgehog....... It’s a Western Fly used to imitate a Salmon Fly..... The western trout also are intimidated by a bigger size Fly...

I haven't seen or heard anything yet.
They'll supposed to start appearing mid to late may. But the weather has been kinda cool. And I think soil temperature affects emergence time

Those are super fresh looking. Hatching in cranberry township in southern butler county. Hoping they make their way up to lake Arthur soon. SRC has been unfishable for most of May. Anyone else seeing them around northern butler and Lawrence counties?
