- The Utah division of wildlife resources has released video footage showing planes dropping small fish from the air into the lakes below. The fish - which are usually between 1 and 3 inches (2.5cm-7.5cm) long and include rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout, tiger trout, splake and Arctic grayling - are specifically raised for fishing. They are dropped into fishless lakes that do not have any natural reproduction, and they are often sterile.

Utah’s DWR says this allows the state to control their numbers and does not affect any native fish populations. This method of stocking, in which the small fish can survive the high fall because of their size, has been used since the 1950s. According to the UDWR, aerial restocking is quicker and less stressful for the fish than the earlier method of bringing the fish to the high locations in milk cans on horses.

No one would survive a jump into the water from that heigh
Fishes: hold my beer…
This is actually pretty cool
Several of the Utah lakes are stocked a couple times a year by airplanes. Especially the many pristine lakes found in the High Uinta's that are so remote their only access is to hike or horseback to those lakes...MIGHTY FINE PINE!
It's all overgrown neglected and forgotten about. But in the early 1900s Oregon used to transport fish and mail on trains. If you know where to look. You can still find some of the old fish tunnels made out of cedar. Everyone acts like conservation is something new
Any areas to look?
What is this, Fish-nite?
Where we swimming bois😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
best comment here 😂😂
What's the mortality rate?
Low. This is actually how you do this. They aren’t just winging it to get home early.
@@dustyboi8975 It's 95-99% survival rate. There's been quite a bit of work figuring out the best drop conditions (90mph, 150-250ft, depending on conditions, etc.).
Thats a pretty far DROP😮
BUT SOMEHOW THEY MAKE IT!😊
its in reverse
I know most fish are kind of designed for diving like that.....but at hundreds of mph?
Doubt they would do it if the fish would just die or get injured ..
That plane is not flying at hundreds of miles per hour (there's no way they'd be on target) and they aren't going to do it if they just die.
The plane is not going hundreds of miles an hour
They planes are ideally going around 90mph, at a height of 150-250ft off the surface. The fish are just fingerlings-- a few inches long. If you throw leaves out of a car window driving down the freeway at 65mph (of course don't do this), they don't hit the ground very hard. The fish are similar-- low terminal velocity, and they tend to orient themselves better than you might think.
The fish had a nice ride
Is the fish okay?
I just watched a video with goldfish growing to 9lbs from being put in lakes & ponds 😱
Is a plane drop really necessary?
Yes, when that body of water is 50 miles from the nearest civilization
@@joshuareyes2449 If its 50 miles from "civilisation" why do they need to restock fish?
@@djinghiskhan9199 just cause it’s that far from civilization doesn’t mean it’s inaccessible for humans to fish I’m sure this being done by a wildlife agency i would assume these lakes are part of the park. Cmon lets use ours brains
@@joshuareyes2449 "50 miles from the nearest civilization"
You can literally see a jetty at 8 seconds. You are full of it. Ahahahahahahahahah
@@djinghiskhan9199whether it’s 50 or 5 miles look at that terrain and tell me you’re gonna get a big tanker full of fish to that site. I’m full of what….🤣 ethical and efficient thinking??
This has been going on up here in our California Sierra Nevada lakes since the 1940’s.
This is actually amusing to watch
Amazing.
Hitting the water like bricks? Okay 👍🏻

Do it hurt the fish
Eh maybe there like a baby learning to walk it might hurt when they trip but they will forget about falls in the past
@@Bryce-biker I was joking man
Surly that has to hurt
Fish don't feel pain
@@pen12345 if you say so
The fish are only about 3 inches long and have a very low terminal velocity. They don't hit the water very hard, and they even orient themselves a bit for a better landing.

Crazy
Really just ejecting the fish out of the plane is crazy
Crazy...wasn't there any other way to do that fish relocation🐟
Traumatized Trout: a deranged cousin of the more flamboyant Rainbow Trout, the Traumatized Trout inhabits freshwater lakes usually unreachable by fish. They tend to swim with a limp and tell far out tales of derring-do acomfished by their distant relations. 🎣
Please, someone write a short blub from the fish's perspective of the experience!!! Please, anyone??
It's been a rough few weeks.
I was born in the tanks, they feed us and raise us strong.
But today we go out to what we were born to so.
To fly.
To swim.
I am one of many, my brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles,.everyone I've ever known are loaded in this tank. Darker than the one we were raised in. It's rough.
There's chatter by everyone. Where are we heading? Whatis going to happen?
It opens.
We see the light. It rushes out, we swim, we are free.
Soldiers sent to repopulate the waters so strange to us. It is what we were born to do.
Sorry it's so late buddy, but your fish pov story
Plane behaving like a bird😎
Awesome 🤩

No-one here asks the question not answered in the film. Why do these lakes need restocking? Why are they sterile? Perhaps they are naturally so. Perhaps it's climate change or pollution. The question hangs large in the air.
They are not sterile lakes. Thousands of people hike to these lakes to fish. If you were to visit a few of the thousands of lakes found within the beautiful Uintah National Forest, you would understand. I am retired now but I have been fishing these lakes since childhood when my father took me fishing there most every year.

Can you imagine!? You're just a peaceful dyyyuuuudebrooo out on the laaaaake with your girlfriend in a caneeeeyyyuuoooe (
title should read - "Utah wildlife agency restocking lake by plane with DEAD fish"
Title should read "This video's comments will be filled with ignorant people that don't understand science."
The fish fall more slowly and therefore safely because of their small size. 95% survival rate is common with this technique.
@@TheDavidMetcalfe You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him understand terminal velocity of small fish falling into that water in front of him 😄
Waste of money captive fish just die and don't bring genetic diversity
