It's great for kids and adults to have fun out in nature, making memories that last a lifetime,etc. It also could be a great opportunity for discussion about sustainability, the natural and native ecology of the area and the part humans must play to make this possible.
Charles Fort wrote in the early 20th century about similar cases of such falls of fish long before it occurred to anyone on earth to do so. He hypothesized that someone or something was doing precisely what this airplane is doing, only from an unseen source.
Do any of the fish die being dropped like this?? Seems like they would get hurt. Judging on how careful they are putting the fish in the plane, it seems like it may be dangerous for the fish. But maybe I'm mistaken?
The fish are very small and have a very low mass. Therefore, when dropped from the air the fish reach terminal velocity very quickly and can survive a drop from a few feet to several hundred feet. I have dropped fish ino a lake from a helicopter and then returned several weeks later to find them alive and doing fine.
Of course nobody tells the kids that the government put the fish there. Something to keep in mind when tempted to think that "government does nothing".
There is no dam and no river. These are spring fed mountain lakes. It is easy to overfish them and fishing contributes greatly to the local communities. Further, the sale of fishing licenses helps fund Utah conservation efforts like this program. Without the lakes being restocked, either the species would stop surviving in those lakes, or fishing would stop, both of which are undesirable outcomes. Even in Michigan, where I am from and lakes are more interconnected and abundant, this is practiced by the DNR.
That might be the cruelest thing I have ever seen a government agency do. I've seen fish die from just not tossing them back into the water carefully enough while catch-and-release fishing. Dropping them from planes?? OMG!!
You are trying to make an apples and oranges comparison. Stop trying to create drama where there is none. Fish this size being dropped into lakes for restocking works, and it is a great way to build and maintain fish populations.
@@ralphcantrell3214 Some park services are using helicopters. However, helicopters tend to be far more expensive than fixed wing aircraft, and not all park services have helicopters or helicopter pilots. It takes time and money to augment their fleets with helicopters. Nevertheless, I would anticipate seeing more helicopters being used for fish restocking in the future, at least for lower elevation lakes and / or smaller areas to cover. However, planes will also still be used, as there are many areas where most helicopters are not practical. Where ranges are larger and / or the number of lakes to restock are higher, planes are the more practical choice. In major park areas in the Western half of the U.S., there is also the issue of mountain lakes and higher altitudes, which tends to be considerably more difficult for helicopters. Planes are far more fuel efficient, better for the environment, more cost-effective, cover more territory in less time, and can carry more weight more efficiently. Moreover, many helicopters used in different park service regions are reserved and outfitted for SAR, and are not set up for fish restocking. That is why the costs of helicopter usage is therefore typically reserved for SARs missions.
I am greatly disappointed in CBS Sunday Morning. What poor journalism to not even say what species of fish Utah is dumping in remote lakes! Was that intentional to hide the truth? I checked around, and they are brook trout (not native in the West) and "tiger trout" (a hybrid of two nonnative species: brook and brown trout). The fish are dumped in remote lakes just for the anglers, because the fish could not normally access there. This action by the State is totally against everything invasive species biologists work for, and I, as an invasive species biologist, am discouraged that CBS is reporting it as a great achievement. This segment is blatantly unconservation-minded.
Yeah guess what it doesn’t hurt the environment, they’re naturalized species and there’s zero evidence the region is any less pristine due to the stocking
Both to please fishermen and to keep the natural balance that having fish there maintains. As a side note, the fishing licenses more than pay for this program and help fund other conservation efforts around the state.
I never understood this practice that seems to be hugely expensive just for recreation. One party is against food stamps for people but then we fund something ridiculous like this 🤷♂️
...answers the Jeopardy question of why so many people wouldn't live in UT and parts of ID and NV, except you'll want to be sure to phase it as a question.
Why is this necessary? Who took the natural fish stocks away? Makes no sense. Why not limit fishing so the fish will have a shot at reproduction. Take the dams out so they can migrate naturally.
Not sure why you are getting so much aggression for this post. To explain, these are mountain lakes that are not connected by rivers. There are no dams. The fish are stocked to maintain healthy levels and keep stock for fishing. Fishing licenses, by the way, pay for this program and more, including many conservation projects in Utah.

@@lewstone5430 I can agree with that statement enthusiastically. Zion and Arches will always be unforgettable experiences for me. My walk in the Virgin River between towering canyon walls was epic, despite the frigid water and my unsteady hiking on the uneven bottom.
Gorgeous scenery!
Need this in Wisconsin no fish left
How many of those fish survive the drop. I'm from Salt Lake City Ut and its beautiful here.

Think how freaked out those fish are.
You’re anthropromorhising
They can’t reflect on their situation

Tornadoes can suck up fish and drop them elsewhere
Beautiful! Everyone has a purpose in this world.

Love this!
Super cool job
Watching them drop, pretty cool
Those are mos def "flying fish" lol

Cool.

Human ecology.

The wildlife departments are probably the most productive and efficient parts of government.
I got hit by one of those fishes once from the plane it was cool 😎
They do this all over. It's not unique to Utah.
This is weird.
Why isn't nature making enough fish? Why do we think we need to put more there? Did we block a river with a dam?

They use to do this here in California. Now they intentionally drain the lakes and have ruined our fisheries!
Bruh if a fish hits me I’m suing 💯💯💯

@@__Paul__ Why not use a helicopter? Those will hover just above the surface and would be a lot less traumatic for the fish.

Amazing stuff! Head to the lakes for some tasty trout!
Thank you, taxpayers🇺🇸🇺🇸
Paid for by license sales not taxes
Lottery tickets pay for it also!!!
I spend my summers backpacking and fly fishing the Uinta Mountains here in Utah. My channel is full of my trips catching these trouts!
I suppose some of these lakes are isolated, but would it be so difficult to truck those fish to their destination?!?? btw, the fish say "OUCH!!!"

Many of the lakes didn’t have fish to begin with. Stop being ignorant

What's the point of dropping fish in the lake if they die on impact
They flap their fins really hard in midair and it slows their decent. Did you miss that part?
