Depends if the water you used was chlorinated or not for starters.
You might want to run it for a couple of days to let any muck get washed into the filters so you can remove it?
Could also be worth testing the water for Chlorine, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, PH, KH and maybe GH. Then if possible try to get the temperatures of the 2 ponds as close as you can then maybe add 2 or 3 fish at a time. Keep testing the water. Maybe try them on a little bit of food. Once you get your water parameters right then maybe think about adding more fish but just not more than 2 or 3 at a time. Most importantly keep testing as you will get an Ammonia spike followed by a Nitrite spike and then a Nitrate spike.

When you do add the fish make sure it's on a day that you are going to be around all day so you can keep a close eye on them and if required be prepared to take them back out again if they take a turn for the worst. Hopefully they'll be OK.

Good plan Rog, keep a good eye on parameters and don't get impatient and just go for it too soon. Once things mature and settle down you can get used to how things are going sometimes by just seeing how your fish behave and with time you will possibly only need to test when you suspect there is an issue.
Good luck
