McLeod,
stocking browns is the fake way out, and would help numbers, maybe for a year or two. Remember those studies done at the U of A in the '50s --they determined that stocking trout in streams to increase the lowered wild population has the opposite effect, and an over decrease in fish results.
That, and the reason the fish are disappearing would just keep killing the fish. A poor waste of an already tight fisheries budget, sort of like stocking trout then have them whacked on the head the next day.
