I recently purchased property with a one acre pond on it. The property hasn't been maintained in 10+ years and the whole place including the pond is in bad shape. I've been working on cleaning up around the pond and removing unwanted trees. Is there any sort of product that can be used for weed control around the pond that's not toxic to the fish?

Yes, you might check out a product called Shoreklear. It can often be tough to find one product that will take care of everything, however.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Tim this stuff works pretty well on aquatic vegetation but is quite pricey and some states require users to have an "applicators license". Navigate - Helps Control Some Common Aquatic Plants
Fishing has never been about the fish....

Hi Tim. Your question lacks several necessary details.
You'll need to identify the weeds that you want to control before attempting to evaluate any herbicide treatment options. Post some pics if you're unable to ID the weeds yourself.
As for fish-safety, aquatic-labeled herbicides generally pose no direct-toxicity concerns towards fish when applied at labeled use-rates, but excessive amounts of decomposing vegetation (caused by an overly aggressive herbicide treatment) can cause dissolved-oxygen issues for fish under certain circumstances.
