I must be lucky. I have never introduced either bull frogs or crawdads into my pond, but I have plenty of both. Sometimes I wonder if the crawdads are going to take over. They sure make a mess around the edge with their tunnels.
I watch the crawdads around the edge of my pond reaching up to grab some pellets when I feed.
I have also watched the frogs float in among the pellets, waiting for minnows to get close enough to snatch. I used to worry that the frogs and crawdads would have a negative impact on the minnow/bluegill reproduction, but I can't see where they have hurt a thing.
Bass going in this spring, should have plenty to eat.
