50 odd ducks? Fish will get a look in but they will be the first on whatever feed you apply.
Might create a few clear spots but you'll probably be creating a bigger problem by feeeding the.ducks.
Anyhoo..
flaked maize, flaked micronized barley,, as below groats, layers pellets

One that people forget about which I like is groats will take on any flavour and basicly takes 15min to. Prepare cheap as chips

If it's clear I would go pellet as it shouldn't stand out too much.
Otherwise my go to mix would be
Aniseed pigeon conditioner done in a coolbox mixed with flaked maize. Can't get any easier.

Pellet. Gone back to using these with boilies now. Just add a bit of glug.

A sack of micro pellets should get thru to the fish, the ducks won't be able to get all of the pellets.

Flaked and cracked maize would be my go-to - bright, cheap and easy to prepare

Pigeon condition very easy, put it in a cool box double the amount of boiling water to seeds and leave overnight. Wallah. I get it for about £22 a bag from local feed shop for 20kg.

Agree with 2 & 3, I'd also add groats onto the list

Flaked maize, also very cheap and just needs a soak with hot water.

Pigeon conditioner, dead cheap and just needs covering with plenty of boiling water and leaving sealed up overnight so prep is as simple as boiling some water

shallow 1.5 acre pond depths from 3ft - 5ft, gin clear with about 50 ducks on it, i'm not fishing it at the moment but trying to keep a little bait going in just to give the fish a free feed, i really dont think the fish are getting a look in, pretty sure the ducks are wiping it out as soon as i leave, i've tried dying the bait colour to the lake bottom, tried tigers,24mm boilie etc etc.....they're finding and taking whatever i put in, so i figured i may as well take advantage of that, the pond gets horrendously weedy in the warmer months, so i'm thinking if i can keep putting in a cheap feed that requires little or no prep, i can get the wildfowl to clear a few little spots, they have scoured the bottom and cleared it perfectly in a marginal spot i was baiting, thatd be perfect if i could get them to do it further out into the pond...so suggestions please for CHEAP low/no prep feed that i can keep introducing through the next couple of months ...thank you
