David,
Looks like you got some good input already. You may also consider rainbow trout through the winter, starting around Thanksgiving and they'll give you about 6 months before they melt.
The HSB idea is a good one but get a water test for hardness first. Needs to be at least 20ppm. Clint might have tested your water when he brought you those fish, or maybe he tested your shallow ground water with the truck tires,....or was it fermented grain mixed with water that he tested?
You are in a good position to try some lake chubsuckers as forage fish in the new pond also....
