Cicada Madness: Timing, Fishing and Patterns for a Super Hatch by Dave Zielinski is the first book dedicated to the patterns, techniques, and, most important, the science of locating the best hatches of these insects. This is a welcome and much needed book in the world of modern day fly fishing!!!!
Cicadas are large, loud insects that spend their nymphal stages underground until they crawl out, climb a tree trunk, and emerge as winged insects. The adult insects emerge on a 1-year (annual) and 13- or 17-year (periodical) cadence. Yearly emergences are consistent and plentiful in certain places East to West and become a dependable “hatch.” Species from carp and smallmouth bass on eastern rivers to trout on fabled waters such as Utah’s Green River or Pennsylvania’s Spring Creek grow fat on this annual feast. Anglers can follow this hatch and fish cicadas for almost two months and, if they understand which broods are hatching where, can fish cicadas almost every year.
The book contains 59 patterns, original designs and designs from names like Greg Hoover, George Daniels, Blane Chocklett, Brad Lovejoy, Chuck Kraft, Pat Cohen and on and on. Discussed are all species from trout to catfish and tactics on how to fish annual cicadas in summer for smallmouth bass.
