Will the water ever clear up.

Clyde, I think I've asked you before where that photo in your sig was taken.

I hope so. We planted some rye on it that’s coming up but it’s not too thick. I think the cows are working it pretty hard. Eventually grass should cover all the dirt when it warms up.
The old pond had dark water.

Some property a friend owns in South Arkansas. He obviously manages it strictly for ducks. Bad arse place. Most visually satisfying spot I’ve ever hunted. First time I saw it I was literally speechless. Didn’t know what to say...

so my dad built about an acre pond 10+ years ago. stocked it with bass and bream. it was clear in about 6 months. the next year he decided to add cats to eat (so he could feed them daily
). its never cleared up since the cats were add...just FYI

Is El Ranchito still kicking? I used to love that place.

Ignorantly asking, why is that? Do they stir up the bottom?

Spent a couple years playing ball out there.
Those local girls loved the baseball team.
Wasn't shite to do there but hundreds and fish in the off-season. I loved it. Simpler times

The key to clearing your pond of the sediment turbidity is to get the watershed, and levee, surrounding the perimeter of the pond vegetated as soon as possible, as well mitigating the number of cattle using it as a water source. Take care of that and the pond should clear up on its own in due time. Occasionally, some ponds don’t clear up on their own for unknown reasons, and might require treatment with a chemical flocculant to clear them up, but that’s usually a last resort.
Channel catfish will not contribute to causing and maintaining muddy pond conditions. There are tens of 1,000s of acres of commercial channel catfish ponds in the southeast with several thousands pounds of catfish per acre, or higher, that have little to no sediment turbidity issues. Some rough/trash fishes such as buffalofish, or common carp, if present in high density can cause sediment turbidity in shallow ponds. Be sure to keep those trash fish out the pond.

We've been talking about it for a month, and yesterday evening my step dad went down there and threw out a worm on a bream hook for the first time. 20 seconds later...
Little channel cat appears healthy and has doubled in size since we stocked last December. I think we'll have whole fryers by next spring.

Yep. We like it too. It's a shame they don't have a liquor license though.

Step-pops can thread a worm like a champ.

Slinging an old 1986 spin cast.
On a serious note though, I'm excited to see that the fish appear to be doing well. Not many are coming to the top to eat food other than the fat head minnows we stocked. Apparently the cats are getting the minnows though, so circle of life and all.

We stocked fingerlings last December.
Kept our first mess to fry up this afternoon. Little Sylvester whole fryers!
