Default when to start feeding koi

I stopped feeding my koi in a small pond in Connecticut and only watched
the pond to keep it from freezing completely, recently i noticed fish are
awake and swimming briskly around, shall i feed them no or wait for spring?

============================
If the water is over 50F you can feed them lightly. If you expect the
temperature to drop at night it is probably best not to feed them at all.
Most ponds have enough algae and plant matter that they can snack on until
the water remains above 50F.
