I think Black Nugget should have the town “Tofield” beside it, not “Thorsby”.

They do spring and some supplemental fall stocking, especially where there is aeration. And, I see lots. What are you referring to specifically, what lake?

All stocked trout are sterile, so they can't reproduce. Furthermore, even if the sterilization process didn't work, trout would need an inflow/outflow in a lake to successfully reproduce.
In lakes which have springs, I believe there has been some (very limited) natural reproduction of some char species.

These big fish were used to harvest eggs and milt that was tested with other trout species to make sure no cross fertilization could happen. No babies. All tigers are sterile. The test fish were then available for release.

You’d be surprised at how clueless some people are, it’s really amazing actually.

Play nice boys.
Brook trout are very successful at spawning with just springs. Even though only triploid are stocked now we do have a few lakes where brookies are reproducing from original 2n stockings
