When you say "other forms of vegetation," what are you seeing. Fertilizing a pond with certain aquatic plants already growing can be a big mistake. They will soak up the fertilizer and explode all over your lake, which will remain clear and facilitate weed expansion.

Been there done that when I failed to drain and dry my bluegill production pond last year. The pondweed was sucking up all the nutrients and the water was crystal clear. If you skip any steps mother nature is going to get you!
