The Society formed in 2002 now stocks all lakes in British Columbia with game fish.A source says that 52 % of the licence fee to game fish goes to funding the society.

Some lakes do not have good spawning beds or outflows inflows of water so they are stocked with sterile fish and all their makeup goe to producing weight rather then eggs. Sixty to 100 thousand live fish are carried in one of their trucks and are matched to water temperature  to relief stress on release. One truck crew I talked to was on its way to the Bridge river area to stock lakes yesterday.

One of the chamber themes here is a lake a day as long as you stay and the worker said they do a lot of stocking here.
