Are you a fisherman? We had our big 17 yr. cicada thing about 5-6 years ago. They were dropping into the water along the shoreline of the local reservoir and carp (and other fish) were sucking them down from the water's surface. My son and I went out with fly rods and caught a bunch of large carp on dry flies. Flyfishing for carp??? You betcha.
