{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Water Striders

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.
