Thanks Dave,for my pond that should be good enough to figure out what the few I have are capable of chomping on.

CJ, I wouldn't say they do well in my pond but they have been hanging in there for as long as I can remember.It's not rare that we catch one but it isn't often either.I have one shoreline with some reeds in the shallows and it seems they hang pretty exclusively in that region.I pull in a few every year while working the shoreline in this area at dusk and that is about it.
