But, there are disadvantages to stocking lakes with stream trout as apposed to putting them into stream. First of all, and probably most importantly, stream trout can not spawn in lakes. This is due to fact that they need running water and gravel beds to lay their eggs. Since this can't be provided for in a lake, it is up to hatcheries to keep lakes stocked with stream trout. Is it worth it then? It is because there is a large demand for stream trout in lakes. Since demand is there, hatcheries will continue to stock these stream trout in lakes. The good news is that once they are placed in lakes, stream trout grow to great sizes and survive well. So, this can be a great benefit to anglers who want to catch their prized stream trout in a lake!
