Well, curiosity got the better of me so I grabbed my sein dip net and went around the pond lightly dragging the bottom from as far out as I could reach and did actually come up with a couple very small snails. (Usually when I was able to drag up a few leaves.)
I also drug up some kind of critter that kinda resembled a tick but larger, and some really small jelly like globs, smaller than a #2 pencil eraser. Think maybe some kind of Bryozoan.
On another note, I also seined up a few small fry. Most were GAMs, but some were either GSF or BG. Even at 1/2" long, the bright green markings on the GSF gill plate is very evident while (what I think are BG) were more silver. Other than that, at that size, they're pretty much identical.
