The water looks brownish to me, however when a line is tossed in you can easily see the hook/bait suspended to about 18-24 inches deep. I could be wrong but I take that to mean the water is clean and clear, but I have brown color coming from the bottom. There are trees nearly surrounding the pond which over the years would have deposited many many leaves.

Here are some images of the pond surface:
