As a result of the Creston NFH's stocking efforts and broodstock program, annual economic benefits weigh-in at over 100,000 angler days valued at over $5 million.

As the aquatic habitat changes due to natural (drought, flood, habitat destruction) or human (over-harvest, pollution, habitat loss due to development and dam construction) influences, the reproduction of fish in the wild declines. Stocking of fish is one of the many management strategies used by biologists to help replenish the populations for years to come.
