My pond is 1.5 acres and I keep it full via a dedicated water well. There is no watershed that contributes to the water levels. We did have a very heavy rain a few weeks ago and the entire property flooded. I couldn't tell where the pond was located and where the flooded pasture began.
After the water receded, the water in the pond went from a pretty green to a very dirty, brown color. I am sure that sediment from the pasture caused this. It has been 3 weeks now and the water is still the same dirty color. What is most concerning is that since this occurred, I have not seen any sign of my fish whatsoever. Previously, when the fish feeders went off the water would boil with bluegill and bass. Now, there is absolutely nothing coming to the feeders.
What could have caused this? Will the sediment eventually settle out?
