Heading to SML early Sunday to try my luck at some cicada fly fishing. The cicadas are thinning out but guys are still catching carp, bass, and even catfish with cicada imitations on the fly. I'll post a report after.

Good luck on sunday. If they wont hit flys try skipping a shakey head worm or a senko under docks always worked for me. Are you going in a glitter rocket or kayak? SML can get crazy on weekends.

I'm only taking my fly rods for this trip but have options if they don't want a cicada. I'll be in the yak. Plan to be out as the sun comes up for a few hours on the south end of the lake. Will stay near shoreline for sure.

I hope you haven't missed it. It was really slowing down last week.

Here's a little inspiration! I was on the ol glitter rocket though. I spent way too many hours on that lake to test my luck on my kayak. The grassy came from Belews lake. He fought twice as hard as the commons!!

I think I did miss it, not much at all in terms of bites. How long you been going after carp on the fly? I'd like to start as I just got an 8 wt rod/reel, just had a 5 wt before that.

Actually this is the first year of seriously going after the golden bones. I've still got a ton of learning to do myself, but for cicada action, I beat up on the guys in the boat with me using spinning gear. They would take a fly 3 to 1 over poppers/spooks/etc.

If it ever stops raining! I've got a local place here in Martinsville that's got some beast in it if I can ever figure out what they want!
