Brettski, what he meant by changing water clarity was whether or not to fertilize. Fertilizing would give him more and bigger fish, but would lower the water clarity for swimming, hence the dilemma.

I heard of a person planting winter wheat in their pond before the pond filled up, and evidently you could see to the bottom of it! I am not sure how long that lasted after the wheat died. And, I don't know how deep the pond was.

To me it is a smart idea to plant winter wheat or rye the whole size of the pond before it fills. As the water covers it, it provides excellent food for all the tiny things that make a pond boom in the beginning. It also provides excellent spawning structure for GSH if you stock them. Plus, it greatly reduces erosion and sedimentation.

Ack, will your wife swim in a lake? You're water clarity should be similar to surrounding BOW's.
