Mine does just the opposite, it clears up considerably in the colder months, every year.
I had a lot of green oak timber and tree tops and brush piles from logging in it when it filled up, so I had a little brownish tint to it for several yrs from what I figured were tannins, but every winter it cleared up considerably.
This last summer tho the visibility stayed a lot better then before, I can see a lure or a fish at 3' pretty easily. and right now probably even further then that. I would like to get a sechi disk and see just how far I can see it but havent.
That is what I assumed this pond would do. We just bought the property the first of May so I don't have any back history on it. During the spring and summer when I pumped water
the pond got more clear, not murky so I would almost rule that out
I'm wondering if it could be all off the vegetation decomposing as 1 month ago it was very clear (almost too clear) with a lot of Cara and Pond weed. Today all of that
is gone and the water has turned murky.
I guess it could be water fowl, but IMO, with the shore line being so steep and the number of geese and ducks compared to the volume of water it's highly unlikely.
Since I'm new to this whole pond and fish deal it is very interesting and I always wonder what is going on when something changes
Make yourself a disk, I just painted a 8" round piece of aluminum and attached it to a wooden broom handle. Very easy to do
