On my new land i have a half acre pond.. it hold water well.. so well the epa guy made me run 200 yards of field lines to approve my septic....
Anywho.. there is alot of clay when it rains so the pond stays murky, there are ZERO fish in the pond.. no fry or minnows etc..
Is this because of the clay sediment? The pond is old.. probably 10 years or more and has been in the dense woods for a long time.
1: Has anyone ever used gypsum to clear a pond?
2: And will any fish do well in the murky water?
I want some green sunfish or something maybe bluegill and then possibly stock some channel cats. I plan to have a 55gal deer feeder there to feed them if they'll live.
Side note, we caught a bass minnow the other day from a local lake with a cup with the kids while we were playing around. its almost 2in long.. Kope my youngest son affectionately named him GEORGE... we have George on the counter in a small tank now.. and will release him as the 1st fish in the pond.. So Haywire, you can rest at ease knowing you have a future wall hanger with your namesake..
Tight lines and thanks in advance for any help on this..
