Pcr has and will continue to have burbs, pike and walleye which probably doesn't bode well for trout.

Diefenbaker Lake in Sask has lots of predators, ask the Conrads about the 40 lb rainbows they catch. Crawling Valley had lots of pike and burbot, rainbows were over 10 lbs when the government decided to stock it with walleye and shut it down to retention. The walleye are old and not reproductive in Pine. That is the only reason they are opening it up to retention. In a couple years when the walleye die off from old age, people will being saying that it was fished out and the government screwed up a good lake, to take people out to teach them to fish for walleye. The fact remains that these fish are not going to reproduce, are going to die, are not going to grow without baitfish present ! The only good thing the gov. did with this lake is open it to retention before it is to late. Then again the shores might be covered with dead fish when the ice melts !!
