too add some to what wormandbobber said, consider for a moment the Middle Provo River. It's loaded with brown trout. There is nothing to prevent those fish from entering Deer Creek Res. Yet you rarely hear of many anglers catching brown trout from the reservoir. Why?
As w&b said, return to creel on brown trout in reservoirs is very low. It isn't because they aren't there.
We have numerous river systems that have a lot of browns. Many of those fish end up in reservoirs downstream. They are there right now waiting for you. There isn't a lot of need to stock more.
