If it were me, my first question would be "is this going to happen again?" and my second question would be "when? or "how often?".
If it is once in a hundred year flood I would start over. If it is going to top the pond every five or ten years (and it takes at least three or four years before any decent fishing after a restart), then I might consider learning to manage and live with what I got.
But that is just me.
