Ionic imbalance in the pond water is keeping the clay suspended. Adding the creek water balances things out and the clay precipitates to the bottom of the pond.

Get the banks surrounding the pond covered with vegetation so the clay doesn't run into the pond during a hard rain and your problem most likely will be solved.
