Looks like I owe Rex Rainman a HUGE Aplology!!!
I had a few minutes so I came up to the pond this afternoon. I took the time to tie on a 1/16 oz Reef Runner cicada. Gold with a red eye. I tossed it in a few places near where I had caught a few (30) YP late last summer. I caught five in nothing flat..
Yep,, they must still be in there! I don't know if five small YP equates to 1,300 that I thought had died, but it's more than I'd seen in months! Maybe there are 1,300 more in there. Who knows?

Rex, I am a horses a$$ for doubting you. You have my most sincere apologies sir..

12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
