kay, I lost a whole shipload of BG last Winter. For a month or so after that, I was sure they were all gone. As ewst noted above, that is usually NOT the case (and fortunately it wasn't for me.

Don't lose heart. Try to figure out possible causes for them to die, and eliminate or reduce as many of the risks you identify as possible. Keep looking for survivors - there probably are some BG left, especially if other fish survived.

Lot's of us have been there, and if you stay at it and reduce fish kills risks, the pond and the fish will be better than before.
