I would do it when the pond temperature is very close to the cold water tap
temperature. This will keep the fish from having a temperature change due
to the water change. The two temperatures should be coming close very soon.
Other than that, the fish are least likely to be badly spooked while they
are more dormant than when they are very active, so I would say the cooler
the pond the better.

I'd wait for warmer weather. My fish are all over me when I get in
the water with them. They try to eat every hair on my legs and I can
refill the pond over a period of days. They are shocked/frightened
by my dipnet scooping leaves and don't come to me for a short time
after I do that.
