Redspruce that low visibility could be making the brookies wary but do you have alot of minnows and bugs in the pond, when I put hatchery trout into my pond they feed mostly on the large amount of shiners and bugs and very little on the pellets.
Another possibility is water temperature, they start slowing down when water temps reach the mid to upper 60's F.
