Side question- how long did your pond to fill and stay full?
I built one 1.25 acres last summer and it filled 2/3 full, i added minnows and it seeped/drained 90%. Now its up to 3/4 full, shallow end dry. The builder said it way fluctuate a bit at first and the drought didn't help. I hope its holding now.
Original question. Ponds shouldn't have crappie, only good sized lakes.
If/when mine holds water i'll go with a bass, and bluegill/shellcracker combo.

It didn’t take long, we are in enough topography to generate about 110 acres of watershed (estimate from pond builder), so more than enough. Filled-in in about six months, dipped a little during last summer’s drought, but quickly returned to full.

Last year's drought would have an effect, but the rain we have gotten over the past few months should have filed your pond. I'm not sure about the "fluctuate a bit at first" part. If it doesn't fill shortly something isn't right.
