Hey guys where did Aaron Borg get those Cicada(?) Trolling Flies??

[@tamies03]

Where is this at? Can you fish from the bank in the background? Is it accessible by car or foot?

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

yes, there is lot's of shore access and good fishing.

Is this Wallula lake (after dam) or river, before the dam?

[@rtfrenchjr]

Any chance you guys could give the dates that the video was shot in your videos, perhaps in the youtube title? They are fantastic, but time of year would help. Thanks!

What type of shad are there? And are they there year round ?

[@gregorybarcello9321]

American Shad ....they come upriver to spawn in June/July....

[@Follower_of_The_Word]

Cicada is pronounced “si cada” the C is soft., not “Kicada.” That’s the bug that’s currently plaguing the South and Midwest this year.

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

thank you!

What type of shad are they ? And are they there year round ?
