i had a fish kill this spring. i have it narrowed down to the fact that i overdosed the pond with green clean.... i'm pretty sure all the fish died (although i never found a dead perch and i know they were in there) anyways that was a couple months ago and i'm wondering if it would be safe to restock it now or if i should wait till next year?
MY POND: 50'X100' (1/8 ACRE) dug in 2006. get's deep quick with a trench dug in the middle that reaches 17' deep. i have aeration. i stock bluegill, bass, trout, and perch and couple crappie.

Get a cast net and try to verify no fish alive---I doubt that is really the case as it seems there are almost always suvivors.
If it in fact was a total fish kill, get a cheap aquarium ammonia test kit and sample the ammonia levels. If there are a lot of dead fish on the bottom, ammonia may be too high and kill any newly stocked fish.
