I have a 3/4 acre pond that has only been finished about 1 month. It is 6 foot deep, the water has started to settle and was between 10" and 12" this morning.

I jumped in it after mowing this morning and when I got out I had black "mud" that was coated on all the hair on my arms and legs. I also noticed what looked like 1/2 inch string looking particles floating in the water. What do you think this is?

The water surface is clean, it is in the open and has a slight breeze most of the time. I have not fertilized, limed or tested the water yet as I was waiting for it to settle a little more.
