verdehoy,
I am no expert, but i would say you are having a DO crash!! Pond turn over and DO crash maybe?
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

No fish seen piping.Dead fish include large GC BG and LMB. Minnows in shallows appear lively.

If it isn't that I wonder if something has gotten into your pond from your watershed area?? Has anything you can think of gotten into your pond lately or seeped in from somewhere? I don't know I would like to see what the big dogs have to say about your picture. I am very curious now.

Iron Precipitate, Mosquito Fern, or Red Tide?
My guess is red algae.
Aerate heavily, treat with an approved algaecide, and followup with a high quality microbial bioremediation such as Biocycle. Maintain aeration. Also get a sample of that water and send off to be tested. Texas A&M has a great testing service. Look it up online.
It's ALL about the fish!
