ga pond rookie, sounds like a good situation to me. how big is your pond? I have 5 acre pond similar to yours as you described it. when water clearity reaches about 30 inches i fertlize and maintain about 20-24 vis all summer. with little overflow in summer it is easy since fertlizer last a long time and add small amounts as necessary. the fishing since i started has improved so much and never had a die off of any kind. good luck
