Stocking trout is terrible for wild populations, in most circumstances. Adverse impacts include competition; predation; disease transmission; genetic domestication effects. But governments in the U.S. have a long history of stocking trout because, well, people vote and people like catching trout. In 1962, the federal government actually poisoned the Green River below Flaming Gorge dam to kill all of the native "trash fish" so that people would exclusively catch the trout they stocked. True story.
