The only problem is that the river flows into a private lake then over a weir, so downstream probably won't get any fish

The two best times to go fishing are when it's raining and when it's not

Wotnob,

 

Curious, will your stocked fish "spread out" well under these circumstances. For fish to move during these stocking events around my part of the world we often have to have a catastrophic event i.e. flood, fish kill, unusual temperature variations, that sort of thing.

 

Released "native" fish return to their native habitat rather quickly.

 

Stocked fish are like shooting fish in a barrel the first year. They are conditioned to certain foods and times of the day. A modest solution at best.

The EA has hatcheries, which breed fish for restocking, but also moves fish from other sites for various reasons.

 

In this case the fish came from the hatchery at Calverton.

Some of the fish will be raised so they are semi wild but used to artificial food and the EA remove fish from rivers ruining the fishing of others to restock rivers the polluters should be restocking and the polutters owners in prison hopefully mending their ways

In the latter the fish are as wild as they were but miffed they left their belongings behind.

The EA destroy course fishing in favour of trout fishing very frequently in the river way....s

As Chesters said, they often stock wild fish that they've moved for whatever reason. The hatchery reared fish are not domesticated lines and are generally small fish stocked to grow on - contrast with trout fisheries stocking table sized fish which are dumb as rocks. I don't think those palm sized fish they're stocking will be any easier to catch than wild spawned fish of that size (which are pretty easy) but they're not looking to make an instant fishery, they're reseeding.
