Best Answer

Most man made lakes are created by damming streams or rivers where fish already exist. Therefore, there's no real transport method required. Occasionally, I'm sure eagles or osprey catch a fish in one body of water and lose it over another. Not exactly a regular occurrence but it could theoretically start a population.

Fish don't appear, but their eggs sure do. Water birds, travelling, often get eggs stuck on their feet or in their feathers. They land, duck under water, the eggs get "unsuck", and "poof" the eggs are deposited, and soon hatch

Can fish bite in man made lakes?

Yes. A man-made lake is only man-made in the sense that humans formed the depression in the earth in which the water sits. It is not man-made in the sense that humans control the behaivor of the animals. Some fish bite - it's what they do. Putting them in a body of water that was created by Man does not change this habit. All that said, of course humans can control the type of fish that inhabit the lake. If they have only included the type of fish that don't bite, then they have created a lake in which the fish do not bite. Unless that kind of fish is introduced.
