Default Best time of year to clean a pond?

Hello all,

Can anyone help?

When is the best time to clean my small pond (I live in the UK and it's
winter here)? ......

============================
We have two ponds plus smaller fish pools and a 600 gallon above-ground
pool. We almost always clean them in the spring or early fall. They'd stay
in the holding pool for 24 hours if there was a large difference in water
temperature. This also gave the water a chance to degass (saves on sodium
thiosulfate). It works for us. :-)
