Thanks for all your replies and you had some good suggestions. The
fish are or were bass. If they died then they would be floating. The
deep end is about 10 feet. We haven't seen a snapping turtle. That
was just a thought. Other years at this time we always saw them
swimming around because they do come for their food.
We will look into getting the water tested. There are a lot of trees
around. The pond is 20 years old and the fish have been in there that
long. I threw some worms in today and there just is no activity in
the pond. Another thing we noticed. The frogs are back. We haven't
heard frogs for the last few years.

We have a large pond and have 3 generations of fish which we feed
daily. Last year 10 surfaced in the spring and we assumed they died
of lack of air so this winter we made sure that air holes in the ice
were kept open. This year we have not seen one fish. NONE!! There
were about 200 fish last year. The neighbour put in a few bass one
year and they have multiplied over the years. How could that many
fish disappear without a trace? Would a snapping turtle clean out a
pond? The pond is about 50 x 100 feet. We are completely puzzled.
