Successful shoreline spawning of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss has occurred for several decadal periods without hatchery stocking in Joe and Harry Lakes, two small (5–6 ha) alpine waters at >2000 m elevation in south‐central British Columbia. Redds are most concentrated near groundwater inflows, in Joe Lake mainly on sand and gravel, in Harry Lake mainly over rocks and boulders.
