AS CJBS eludes to just about everyone will have a different opinion and favorite fish or fish combo for stocking a small pond. There are even people here, who will suggest green sunfish (GSF) and or redear sunfish (RES) as both are possible choices for a small pond. There is even a GSF promoting society here on this forum - watch out for them - yikes!
Maybe your best "bet" is to pick one or two species you prefer and then the "experts" will provide pros and cons of if it can be done and how to go about getting it done.
As I mentioned above IMO you have many choices from a single species to a community aquarium. For example and as an extreme you could stock only fish pellet eating LMB, HSB, CC, or YP feed them daily and have fun catching & harvesting some great fish that one could hardly believe from a 0.25 ac pond..
