        it might be possibile that it has been stocked the only thing is it is on d,n,r land not parks.My knowledge is that it had fry packed in in the 60’s by a logger and park ranger. The reason it was stocked is because they wanted their own fishing retreat.I am pretty sure it has not been stocked especialy on a regular basis.

          Then my only other question would be. If you continue to stock in a lake wouldn’t the hold overs still be their which would produce over population. The reason i say this is because i have my own secret lake that nobody goes to because of the difficult pack in and not a whole lot of people know about it. When i go into this lake i se big trout (14-22′). It has only been stockt one time in the late 60’s.The way it was stockt is from packing in fry. From my own experience i cannot by the parks theory. With this small lake their are just as many predators and only one fisherman a year that keeps 3 trout for dinner.

            I think if the park has a boggle with high lakes trout. The should not kill all of them butshould just not continue to plant. All of the lakes i have packed into the fish seem self sustaining. I t would be more cost effective for the state ane us outdoorsmen would still be able to enjoy it and possibly have a more effective roll in high alpine fisheries.
