One of many...my group and I were in awe of what we experienced. I feared cold and rain would stop the bugs and although it slowed them down a bit, the fish were fired up anyway. We could do no wrong. The lesson for me is don't overthink the conditions. If it's at a safe level, and I know some places are currently not, just get out there!

Yep, I found cicada eaters today. I'll try to post a report in a bit, but might not have time until tomorrow.

I started fishing streamers this morning with pretty decent success. The cicadas started making noise around 9:30 but there were none on the water or even in the air. I decided to prospect with one anyway. I'm very glad I did. The fish are looking for them even if there aren't any on the water. I landed somewhere between seven and ten fish without seeing a real cicada on the water and only a couple in the air. I can't imagine what I could have done if water conditions had been decent and I could have waded.
Here are a few of the fish:
