You are likely ok but never say never when it comes to fingerling fish moving in shallow water. My forage pond has about a foot of drop into my main pond and as far as I know I have never gotten any BG contamination. I'm pretty sure I will some day when we get torrential rains and flooding as when my main pond gets to flowing 10" or so over full pool and out the emergency overflow the end of the forage pond overflow will only be a few inches above and I have personally witnessed small BG jumping up 8" vertical drops of water and go between my main pond into my sediment pond.

They will swim right up the stream of falling water.
