Jeff, make sure you have YP spawning habitat in the pond. Their egg skeins don't do so well if they are laying on the bottom. They need to be up off the bottom so water can circulate all around them. Then once the eggs hatch, the fry and fingerlings need dense cover to hide in to avoid predation. Lots of branches and American Pond Weed around the edges. We just see fewer and fewer ribbons every year. I restocked some small YP a few years ago, we are catching a few of them. Not keeping any. Toss a bunch of Christmas trees in there so the tops of them (when they are laying over) are in 2'-5' of water. The American Pond Weed and regular tree branches won't do much for their success in spawning, they need denser material so the skein isn't all clumped up gets water movement around it.
