Going to say this again. We have several large & deep trout lakes (that do not winterkill!) in Alberta which the trout populations are suffering big time due to non-existent stocking programs for them. Extra funds not required, just dump some fish in them already, end of story! A named a few lakes which fit the criteria in a prior post.

Seems our shortsightedness continues on with more money thrown out the window to support feature winterkills & proposed aeration systems on the horizon.
I think the main reason that the government doesn't stock those lakes is that in lakes with tributaries, and therefore natural reproduction, they want to keep the ecosystem natural. Instead, they stock lakes where there are no natural populations to interfere or compete with.
