Default Wintering Frogs

I've been told that frogs will burrow in the muck at the bottom of a
pond for the winter. Is this true? If so, for a pond with a liner
which eliminates much of the muck, is there a way to provide an
alternative for frogs living in the pond? I fished out several frogs
this last spring which apparently had no place to burrow for the
winter and so they didn't make it. Thanks.

=======================There is usually enough fluffy mulm on the bottom of my ponds in the wint
er
and some frogs still don't make it. Yet we have never netted out a dead n
ewt
or slider. They all make it.
