IP,

I'm bumping this question that you had because I think it is an excellent one. IMO now is the time to do that, instead of later when you have LMB already in the pond. I see you have rock piles, so I would stock crayfish. I would also stock another minnow species that will be more likely to survive than FHM. I don't know which one(s) would be best in your area. IMO scuds and/or grass shrimp would also be good additions.

I am not a pro but, hopefully, one will jump in with some good advice.

Good Luck! Exciting time!
