Right now I am looking out at an empty pond....or it wassss empty until this
area got drenched the last couple days......My son and I had our work cut out
for us, emptying a couple years worth of pinecones,needles etc. out. It is now
filling back up with rain water....and pine needles....and pine cones.
Anyway, it is an endless cycle, and things settle out eventually. If "stuff"
is still floating and drives you nuts you can always flood it out....

Good luck
