one lake to another? My "friend" saw fish dying in this small pond. He netted walleyes and put them into another very small but deep lake.By the end of summer the pond was dried up. He tried to let authorities know about this but nothing was done. He saved LOT of fish. .
 
If the fish are native species and he isn't moving them very far, it should not be a problem. The problems arrived when non-native spices are brought in. Spices like the Snake Head are terrible invasive and will decimate a lake population.
 
I guess it would depend on who onwned the lakes and the fish. If they are owned by someone, it could be considered stealing.
