Frogs, a sign as to why.

The year 2013 has probably been the worst year for fishing I have ever experienced. I think a lot had to do with two things. The VERY late spring/long winter. And the weed killing program that was done on all my areas lakes, which was very heavy as virtually all the weeds other than the pads were killed, really messing up the lakes.
A couple days ago I was walking the shoreline at one of my local lakes and I suddenly realized there were no frogs. Normally about every other step has frogs leaping for cover as you walk along the shoreline. Then I realized I have seen virtually no frogs this year! I bet I could count the number of frogs I've seen this year on two hands with fingers left over. I started thinking, few fish and few frogs. Could there be a connection?
I think I will contact the DNR and the local Conservation District who sprayed the lakes and ask if the weed kill program could have a connection to this. Has anyone else noticed a decline in the frog numbers? It can't be good.
