How big is the pond? The sediment will keep slowing it down, but I don't think it will ever completely stop it up like a good 2' of clay will.

It depends on how much patience you have. If good clay is available close to the pond, I'd fix it. If the pond is as big and as deep as you'd like it, just dig it out another 2', and line it/sheepsfoot roll it back to the orig. depth and be done with it.
