Pilots in Utah, US can drop 35,000 fishes into 40 to 60 lakes at one time within a few hours. This was good way because this lake did not have fish. Many lakes and rivers are there in the state placed in its mountains and aren’t reachable by roads, so pilots fly over around 45 meters above these lakes to drop the fishes into their new homes. About 95% of the fish survive the drop. Fish dropping takes place a few times every year, usually starting in July. It’s good news for fishing enthusiasts when more native fish enter the water.
