Oh boy, I've been sipping on Glenfiddich this evening......sure it's only Wednesday, but I haven't slept in days.
-- If they were unpalatable to fish and it was a learned response, I would expect to see the occasional fish eating (or attempting to eat) one before avoiding them entirely. I've never seen a fish even attempt to go after one.
I dunno..?
Oh hey -- it's face-off time I think...

Has anyone witnessed a fish eating a water strider? I have not. I don't understand why they are not crushed by bluegill and other fish. My hypothesis is that they either taste noxious or the fish can't see them. I have seen them swim over fish with no worries. The fish at Riverbend take shelter in the shade provided by hundreds of the little critters.I'm awaiting Gene's response.Rob Snowhite
