A mountain lake was restocked with trout via airplane by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in a method Utah officials call "extreme fish stocking."Â
This mode of transportation is supposedly less stressful for the fish than previous methods, with 95% of the fish surviving the fall.
Fun fact: We stock many of Utah's high-mountain lakes from the air. The fish are tiny — anywhere from 1–3 inches long — which allows more than 95% of them to survive the fall. #Utah #TroutTuesday pic.twitter.com/kotDe91Zzw
