A friend of mine bought some acreage with a nice little pond on it.
this is inlet end


this is the dam end with tall trees on it


This is where the dam leaks

Water is very clear with a few fish but not hardly any minnow activity around the edges. I do see some bluegill nest holes in the inlet end, but they don't look recently used. Haven't checked depth but the shore edge is very very shallow angle to the middle from what I can see. Earlier this summer he mowed and cut brush from around it, so it looks good. But I suspect pond has had no management for a decade at least. probably more.

I would suspect only real fix would be to remove dam and start over. Any other suggestions?
