Most of the turbidity was caused by fine silt and detritus. Some of the finest clay and algae most likely remains after 15 days. If you let it sit longer the finest clay particles will likely settle more making it clearer.

Generally just after ice out for about 2-3 weeks the water will be the clearest of the entire year unless there is a lot of wind & waves that can stir up sediments. As water warms more biological activity and fish actions increases turbidity increases. The good thing about turbidity such as yours is it is natural light suppression and weed and algae growth does not grow very well, but neither does the phytoplankton.
