I have shiners in my LMB, BG, crappie pond. I've caught a couple on flies. Shiners and shad are something you could try. From what I've read, one species of shad would not survive the winter where you are, but the other forage fish probably would. Their problem would be surviving the LMB. Again, from what I've read, shiners will give LMB more competition for food than will BG, so in that respect they are less desirable than BG. I've never heard of these forage fish becoming problems in ponds, but there's lots I've never heard of.
