LMAO!!!! Let me know when you do, I wanna go fishing. My question is, why do you have a spare 500 salmon? No, but seriously, it's probably not a good idea. I would do some more research online and check for interactions between those species of fish and see if it would mess up the food web in your lake environment.

Assuming you are going to have buy these salmon (if you raised the salmon your self you wouldn't be asking this qustion), the dealer will require a liberation permit (from the state)for the fish. which will require you to own the lake(not very likely). Why would the fish farm risk penalties that would close the farm, for the sake of your amusement.
another thought, if you did have the fish, and did release them into lake, the pickeral and bass would be very well fed........
cost of such an idea...........trout fingerling cost about $40 for 50 3-4 inch fingerlings........so your cost will be $400. Instead take that money to trout unlimited and donate the money and your time to help stocking a better location for the fish

Well,first of all, if you are not licensed to release fish into the wild or you are not DNR and you get caught releasing a non native species of anything into a lake you will be, excuse me, but ******. lots of fines and maybe imprisonment so that's the worst. Also if you are putting them into a lake,river, or stream in a different area from were there from with different yearly temperatures and other aquatic features they will probably die quite rapidly. they are very touchy, so unless you know what you re doing or you are part of the DNR or some wildlife program i would recommend forgeting all about you re little idea. have a nice night.......P.S. why would you want to waste such a beautiful and environmentally important fish just to probably try and populate a lake you think is urs or you re little secret, or that so only you will know they're in there right away if they do survive so u wouldn't have to travel to were they are naturally you just go basically into ur back yard. i think it would be bull. well have a nice night.

some facts on slamon. most speices of salmon spend their entire adult life living in the ocean. they then swim upstream to spawn, lay their eggs and then they die.
The Kokenee Salmon are a land locked spiecies meaning they don't need the saltwater to live. So here is wat happens if you released 500 salmon into a lake...A they die, or bB since they have no preditors they take over the lake, but only if they are a land locked spieces to begin with.
My question is why would you want to stock a lake with 500 salmon? why not a spicies of fish that is more suitable to lake life...like a stergeon, or a pike?

Depending on the size of salmon, the pickerel and bass will really appreciate your efforts and the dinner you have provided for them. However if trout survive in this water, the salmon might stand a chance. Try it and find out. Check with local laws first.

interesting..I am from gresham oregon and i released 2000 salmon smolts into a stream that was devoid of them..i record about 40 adults returning some years later..something has been made of stocking streams in the columbia gorge with salmon smolts and putting in fish ladders to add 20 miles in spawning area to these streams..environmentalists killed this idea when unlogged areas could support salmon stocks..they dont like the idea of fish passages at barriers such as waterfalls..what idiots..

well they would most likely die because salmon are not landlocked fish. they need to move up river to spawn. if there is a river feeding into lake then they might survive but i doubt it. it would probably also be unlawful to do this. you would probably would catch some hefty fines instead of salmon.

depends............ The factors can be location, water tempurature and air, and maybe how big the lake is. Yet most likely, it will live as long it is fed by another river that leds to the ocean. Hm.... very intereesting

1st of all consider the salmon, will they go down river and die trying to get back upstream? don't do it for a bunch of reasons
