Stocked waters are fine for kids or even for adults who for whatever reason enjoy them, but they're not for me.
I'd rather catch a 10" wild fish, or at least naturally produced (depending on your definition of "wild") than a 20 inch stocked fish, with lower 48 steelhead and salmon excepted. They almost always better fighters, eat better, are more colorful and are not banged up with fins missing.
