Keith, the BG fishing has been very tough at our pond here lately too. I spent yesterday afternoon raking some of the leftover floating coontail in our pond and the number of invertebrates in the still green coontail was simply amazing. There are all sizes of dragonfly larve from small to mature adults almost ready to emerge, some sort of predacious diving beetle, a few were even carrying egg bundles on their backs, damselfly larva, gizzillions of snails, and I even found a few blood worms in the coontail too. Basically there is a lot of natural food in the water for the BG right now. In our case, the weed treament we did here recently has really opened these invertabrates to predation by our BG and made the BG fishing tough.
