Sprig Peeper tads?

Hate to hog up this thread, but is is possble they might be Gray Treefrog eggs? Do any anuran species in the Grand Rapids and Muskegon areas of Michigan take more than one season to mature other than Green Frogs and American Bullfrogs?

Being a very small species in stature, I am willing to bet since you found fish there, you won't find tadpoles. Find some vernal pools and see what you can scoop out of them. Last year I managed to scoop out a spotted salamander larva, that I raised up. The damn thing is huge now!

Well, in the wetland where I found Gambusia (mosquitofish), I found a number of peepers about to emerge or just emerging.
