I have noticed that my pond water stays murky at all times. My pond is 1 & 1/3 ac in size. I stocked 300 channels, 125 lg mouth, 10 lbs of fat heads, 200 red ears, and about 400 coppernose. This was done in Oct of 2004. My neighbor's pond (about 1/2 mile away)has clear water and is beautiful. He did not put in any cats. Do you think this is the cause of my muddy water? We have identical soil types. This is backed up by maps from the soil conservation office and personal inspection. It appears the channel spawned as I have some cats about 20 in long and some about 8 in long. Should I aggresively remove cats to improve the water? Thanks in advance.
