Default To stock or not to stock a wild trout stream. That is the question.

Stock it. Wild trout stream my ass. How can anyone call it 'wild' is
beyond me. If you're a conservationist and 'really' care about the
'wildness' of the place you'd be pretty hypocritical not to recognize
the denizens of that river to be descendent from other stockings. If
you're a conservationist you'd be supporting one action and one action
only: Rotenone the whole thing, close it to fishing, fix the habitat
problems and restock it with indiginous brook trout. Anything else is
just bull**** so go ahead and stock it. Might as well.

It is impossible to catch and release wild trout.
