A major component of fisheries management in British Columbia is the stocking of lakes and reservoirs with rainbow trout. These trout are raised at three provincial hatcheries: Summerland, Fraser Valley, and Wardner (East Kootenays). Measured over several years and by a variety of informal criteria, the B.C. hatchery program (particularly when combined with lake rehabilitation efforts) has been an unqualified success. However, as recreational demand continues to accelerate across the province and regional programs necessarily diversify into more expensive options such as anadromous species, put and take fisheries, etc., hatchery space, even with the construction of the new hatchery at Fraser Valley, is quickly filled. It can be argued that this will always be the case given the appetite of fishermen for good fishing, but some formalized evaluation methods must be developed to assist managers in allocating hatchery space among regions, species and types of programs. In addition, consideration must be given to
