Any hope of getting well water in clay soil?

I just dig a shallow well down to a little over 15'. I hit water at close to 15 feet. I think I can dig 10' more without problem. But what concerns me is that the soil seems to be mostly really fine clay. Actually, when I dug down to 15' or so, I didn't even know that I hit water. I took a long rest and when I came back, I found water.

So, is it still realistic to expect, say, 1 gpm or even a quart per minute from this well (when it's dug down to about 25')?

By the way, the hole I dug is 6 ID.
