Is that not too high to throw fish down?
FISH DROP: Thousands of fish were dropped from a plane into lakes near Bicknell, Utah July 6. The goal is to restock the lakes, which are only accessible by plane. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says, "survival of aerial-stocked fish is incredibly high."pic.twitter.com/7Q3RFPHLsE

The terminal velocity for a tiny fish is very low, the low height is more important to not missing drop zone than the survivability of the fish.

Why do they need restocked if they're only accessible by plane?

they're only accessible by plane* *only applies to people who are also carrying several tons of water and fish

As I said, survival of aerial-stocked fish is incredibly high. Without a doubt more than 1 fish survives being pitched out of a plane at 70 MPH and 200 feet (or more) in the air. On occasion, we have seen live fish movement under the carpet of dead fish floating at the surface!

With bass in my voice, I'm going to outright say, that's crappie. Aht, Aht.
