They can't get from there to here because of the dams. Like I said, the only ways for trout to get into Middle Pond are if Auburn was raising them and some escaped, or if someone did some illegal stocking. The illegal stocking option is likely because there are private trout farms all over the place, even in Alabama, and I have also read about some of these hunting plantations having a trout pond for fly fishermen in the winter months. I have even heard that someone trying to grow a world record bass stocks his trophy pond with trout every winter. Fat, dumb hatchery trout are how those California Largemouths grow to over 20 pounds. There are plenty of places for someone to get their hands on trout to sneak into a lake when the game wardens aren't looking. The biggest questions are whether they can survive the summer months and the hungry stripers that love to eat those "popsicles".
