Soft rain water, especially directly from the sky, is the worst for keeping clay in suspension. I wasted a bunch of alum and hydrated lime. I would add it, the water would clear, then the rain would wash my nice treated water over the dam. I gave up until my pond is down 1.5-2', but that may never happen here.

LMB can catch prey on moonless nights in murky water, so the muddy water is probably not the only reason they're skinny.
