I am about to do the same thing. A few years a go some beavers built a dam and flooded out a large area of low lying land, basically turning it into a swamp like what you have. (loads of underlying brush and vegetation. Last year i bought some aquacide (aquacide.com) to test the products results. It causes oxygen depletion thereby starving the plants and they dissolve and wash away. Very important not to do the whole area at once! It turned the test area into what looked like a freshwater beach 18 inches deep. This year i plan to do a quarter more of area and start dumping small stones in it. THe state stocks this area every year with 10-12 inch trout so in a few years i will have my very own trout pond....Damn those beavers!!! If your happy with the shallow depth i would try this product first.
