How's the mud situation in the pond?
The very, very abundant crayfish in my mud bottomed pond contribute to the roiled water I get. Narrow trails of muddy water stretch out from the crayfish burrows into deeper water. As the ice got progressively thinner the last two weeks, the crawdad activity began to pick up; the mud trails were visible through the thinning ice.
Anytime a flock of ducks pause at my pond, they noticeably muddy the shoreline water for part of a day.
One of my goals is to establish some underwater vegetation to help lower the turbidity of the pond.
You've probably followed the fertilizer thread on this forum. Some people seem to achieve a lowering of muddiness as their ponds start a bloom. I haven't had a bloom yet. Pond is new to me. Another goal for this summer is to get a bloom going.
Love to hear more about your muddy water experiences.
