I don't think that's the answer in most cases, if a fish population has to be maintained by artificially supplementing the forage base, I'm not sure that's a viable strategy in the long term. In the case of PC though, as long as they keep dumping trout into it, it very well might turn out that way.
For the record - I was strongly opposed to the plan to convert PC into a trout lake by attempting to kill off the pike and walleye. I used to really enjoy the walleye fishing there, and by the sounds of it, it might be worth revisiting at some point. Which is a miracle, because according to the pro trout crowd, every walleye in the lake should be dead of old age by now...
