Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources stocks remote mountain lakes by dropping fish from airplanes. This method efficiently reaches inaccessible waters, maintaining fish populations for anglers. Tiny trout and other species are released, with survival rates exceeding ninety-five percent. Biologists carefully select species, often using sterile fish to control numbers and protect native ecosystems. This practice balances recreation with conservation in challenging mountainous terrain.
