It appears that the consensus is to have zero intentional spawning habitat AND a predator.

In that case, I really think that HSB would make a great predator. Aren't they more adapted to hunt schooling fish (like shad), and therefore be highly effective against small schools of CC fry? (As compared to an ambush predator like LMB.)

Only if the schooling CC fry stay in the open water areas of the pond.
