Even Carp will come up and feed on the cicada's as they are dropping in the water. I have seen Carp as big as 50 pounds go after Cicada's on the surface. It is one of the funniest looking things you will ever see. Carp has to bring his nose out of the water and then bring the snoot down on the cicada virtually without being able to see it.
No this is the 17 year has been said over and over by people that are suppose to know of such things. Just clarifying not trying to be a smartelic.
