Yesterday I was walking around my pond which is now free of ice again and something caught my eye. Swimming along the shore in 33 degree water is what appears to be 1/2 to 3/4 inch long fry of some type. The pond is stocked with LMB, CC, BG RES, and various hybrid BG, the tilapia have been taken out or are dead and on the bottom. What would have spawned so late in the year??

Most likely culprit would be the bluegill.
Late summer spawn with not optimal growth due to cooling waters?
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I agree with Sunil - most likely BG.

Ditto,I've seen this on an annual basis in my ponds.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Good to hear from you Roy!!
How did the tilapia work for you? It was great to meet your this past spring.
