Default New Pond Question

I built my pond in October of 2007, by the time it was ready for fish it
was too cold so I decided to wait until spring. I initially filled it
only 2/3 now with rain and snow ect; Its pretty much filled up. There
are some leaves in it as I'm sure most pond do this time of year. My
question is this: In the spring after the pond has warmed up, and the
leaves are cleaned out, what do I need to do in order to add fish?
After fish are added, I realize the pond will cycle much like a fish
tank (ammonia, nitrites , nitrates). I guess what I'm looking for is to
be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks
