would be advantageous to add a stock tank heater in the
skimmer box near the pump intake? Any ideas?

In moving water the stock tank will be on all the time in cold weather.
That'$ 1,000 to 1,500 watt$ 24/7, and since they're not meant to run
continously I would assume it would soon burn out.

Do you happen to have a picture of the stream so we could suggest some
other ideas? ~ jan
