They have been stocked in the Great Lakes and apparently doing well. I don't 
know if they reproduce in their "spawning" runs, or if it is mostly 
maintained by artificial stocking. I have caught them while trolling deep for 
Chinook salmon in Lake Ontario. They also seem to be well established in the 
Finger Lakes in New York. I remember fishing for them at Cornell in 1951. But 
they were called lake run Rainbow trout.
