snrub, I have seen little to no RES or CNBG nest in my pond and think it is due to water depth's being deeper just off the bank and also due to the pond having only 22" of visibility due to fertilization of the water. you occasionally write of diving or snorkeling in your pond, but when snorkeling in my pond I can only see to arms length's and the water looks to be pretty green. What would u saw your water clarity is? And when trapping I see 1" perch (brim) size and shapes in my minnow traps. Some are for sure cnbg but others look like res, can u tell the difference I your perch @ 1"?
