What is the purpose of putting brood stock into waters that doesn't allow for survival over the summer?

They have served their purpose and are not the best anymore at what they were chosen to do....so might as well let fisherman have a shot at them. They will be replaced at hatcheries and I'm sure with costs associated with feeding trout they aren't keeping fish that don't do their job anymore...so to speak. I think the ones that were put into Normandy were out of Flintville. Over in east TN the older brood trout are released into waters that can sustain them year round.
