The creek is way to shallow to hold fish. So I'm pretty sure there is no fish in there?

Does anyone have any advice on the grass carp?


A pond in a flood plain with no fish in it makes me wonder why that is. Is there something that needs to be corrected before restocking? Was it drought or summerkill with plant overgrowth? Was it winterkill with long-standing ice cover? I would want to make my best guess about that and find a fix before restocking.
