djstauder when I was walked the pond with chest waders a couple of years back I bumped into the lilies and knocked of the little jumpers into the water and the fatheads and Golden shiners when crazy, so I got to shaking the lilies to watch the action. I had very few bluegills at the time but I have quite a few now. So I will walk the pond next month and see what happens.

RAH thanks for identifying the hoppers. I ask what they might be when I presented the picture in 2011 but didn't get an answer.
