Planes restocking lakes with trout
From Times Wire Reports
The state Division of Wildlife is stocking hundreds of high mountain lakes with fingerling trout dropped from hoppers mounted in Cessna 185 aircraft, aquatic biologist Sherman Hebein said in Aspen.
The planes, traveling about 85 mph, get within 125 feet of the lake surface before releasing the fish so they don’t dry out before they hit the water.
