Citydad, get to know the pond before you start trying to improve it.
Catch fish, analyze and measure the fish for size and body condition. Record everything. Give it some time while learning what it has and has not. Somewhere along the trip, figure out what needs to be done to achieve an ever elusive balance of predator and prey.
When you finally get it in balance, congratulate yourself. That generally ends pretty quickly.
