Did you ever wonder where those high mountain lake fish come from?

I know there are several members here who enjoy a nice hike up to a secluded lake and wetting a fly (I’m thinking of you Ski!)

Well here’s how they get there in Colorado and I assume other western states as well...

That's pretty cool.
Nice looking adult fish.
Thanks

The Lady has witnessed fish drops - from the ground - a couple of times while hiking. Incredible mountain pilots who need to be at the top of their game.

There has been a lot of positive changes and improvements in alpine fisheries management over the last few decades, for our benefit and the environment.

Thanks for sharing the video!

That's some seriously skilled mountain flying right there!

It's a long way from "bucket biology" as practiced in the past, and today by unscrupulous anglers.
