bbjr: The RES are spawing in the same areas that the BG are, but to the shore side, so they are shallower. The water isn't a foot deep where they are spawning.

With the fluctuating water levels, we both don't know what to use for FHM spawning cover. I tried floating pieces of styrofoam on my pond, tethered with a short string to a weight, but I think the predators in my pond keep picking them off. He only has a few rootballs in his ponds now, they were rolled in by a track hoe after the pond was full of water. I'm guessing they're in 6' of water or so.
