I'll try to find out some specifics -- but as i recall, there are some reasons why certain fish are and are not stocked there. I think much of it is due to the water owners -- ie: Mike Noel. I know that when the lake was first created that Mike Noel specifically said that no government fish hatchery would ever supply fish to this lake and that it would remain private. We know that isn't the case today - but there are some weird issues with fish stocking down there, and I'm pretty sure it's political.
Also, the reservoir is only 28 feet deep. That alone could explain why more trout aren't stocked in there. Summer time temps wouldn't be exactly ideal for rainbow trout.
As for getting pressure -- one of the really good things, at least in my opinion, is that only electric motors are allowed on this lake. No gas powered motors. That eliminates a lot of pressure right there.
