Jeffb, take a jar of water and let it sit undisturbed for up to 5 days. If your jar test water does not clear in that time, it may never clear without intervention. In the meantime, don't let muddy water stop you from adding some fathead minnows to get a jump start on your forage base.

Jeff mine took about a year to clear up. Have your water checked and do what Water Guru Rainman Says to do . Then you can figure out the next step if any to take. Keep us posted

Jeffb,
My li'l BOW took some time to clear as well. Do the jar test as Rainman suggested. Then you'll know exactly where you stand and what you can expect. I believe my CC and BC keep my bottom a bit stirred up, and until I get that situation under control, that's what I got.
...when in doubt...set the hook...

Jeffster, please excuse and ignor any advice from the three previous posters.
I have an 1/4 acre pond dug into pure Brown clay in North In. It has been "muddy" for 10 yrs. The fish have thrived and the grandbrats don't give a hoot what kinda of water they are frolickin in. Be happy you have a hole that holds water, it will produce as much as you put into it.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

Bob-O, I was wondering when you were going to crawl out from underneath that rock you've been hiding under...regardless of the comment...good to hear from you, buddy!
