Fox-t,
Good point. The acoustico lateralis system also plays a major role in fish behavior, including feeding. The most extreme example is in cave fish. I don't know that an insect without movement is perceived, but if there is some threshold level of movement occurring, then pressure waves are being sent out that can be received by the lateral line system, which, by the way, includes receptors on the head. We fly and lure angler's talk a lot about sight, but often forget about the fish's other sensory systems.
This is not to say that sight is not important. Scientific study has revealed that Largemouth bass in turbid water are often in poorer condition, meaning less plump, than those in clearer water. Likewise, young bullheads, a LMB staple, are less vulnerable in turbid conditions.
As a student, I watched joe Humphreys nymph trout from Spring Creek almost at will under muddy conditions. I marveled at that at the time. He cast up along the shoreline, which probably helped visibility, but it may have also been a demonstration of the interaction between vision and the lateral line system.
