Utah drops fish from planes into remote mountain lakes with 95% survival rate

·1 viewsUtah's Division of Wildlife Resources uses aerial drops to stock fish in mountain lakes too remote to reach by land. Small trout and other species are released mid-air, with survival rates surpassing 95%. Biologists deliberately select which species are introduced, frequently opting for sterile fish to prevent overpopulation and safeguard native ecosystems. The method ensures that anglers continue to have access to healthy fish populations in otherwise inaccessible waters. The practice reflects an effort to balance recreational fishing with responsible wildlife conservation in rugged terrain.
