In the spring....
I rake all the leaves out of the water to as deep as I am able to go with about a 5' handle. I've noticed that the leaves that become encased in mud, other leaves, etc. don't decompose very quickly. I think crayfish also prefer a sandy bottom and the leaves don't help that population at all.
Almost as bad as throwing cigarette butts on the ground...The Weirs Beach as an ashtray is sickening to me. Or seeing them floating on the water.
