Many thanks -- that was a very helpful post, indeed. I'll sit tight for a day or two and see how the pond clears. All of my trout are well over 12" so hopefully gill damage will not be an issue. Re fixing the source of the silt, the landowner has assured me that upgrades will soon be made to the logging road -- which now has at least some gravel on it.
I'm thinking about getting a truckload of sand and have that deposited in a row along the strip of land inside my fence line to slow or trap as much silty water as possible. Just is case, I'm also going to locate a local alum supplier. Again, thanks for referring that post.
