Get a few grade stakes or scrap lumber ripped for stakes, a scrap piece of board, stake the board in the bank to let the rocks pile up against. Drive the stakes in deep enough and screw the board to the stakes so the lumber will not float. Under water the board will likely last ten years.

I used a loader bucket to cut a notch in the bank to create a ledge so my rock piles would not migrate down. But that might not be a good idea in a pond that has a clay liner or is compacted. We have soil that is not prone to leaking so I did not have to worry about disturbing compaction layers.
