Don't panic !

Do a seine survey and report findings.

With what you stocked there should not be a forage shortage in the first 2 years. I think you need more info. LMB can easily lose 25 to 30 % of their weight during spawning.

TFS often don't do well in small ponds as the plankton base will not support them and the other fish as well.

See this pg 17 .
