The majority of the dead fish are located in the cove where water comes in. Our pond is fed primarily by runoff from a housing development a half mile away. We called the DNR and they think silt may be a contributing factor given recent rains. Maybe the DO was borderline because of the DW and the silt was too much?

We had already made plans made plans with the neighbor to create a silt pond next spring. The creek that feeds our pond used to be crossed by 4-wheeler and is now a 6 foot deep gully.
