It's cicada mania out there! From late April through June 2024, the largest brood of 13-year cicadas, known as Brood XIX, will co-emerge with a midwestern brood of 17-year cicadas, Brood XIII. This event will affect 17 states, from Maryland west to Iowa and south into Arkansas, Alabama, northern Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Maryland.
The hatch this year is going to be totally epic so you need to make sure you have a cicada pattern in your fly box!
