We all know
what raining cats and dogs mean
It’s rain
coming down in a steady stream
How about
the phrase it’s raining fish
Does it mean
a monsoon when a sunny day is one’s wish?
Here is what
this phrase is all about.
In Utah’s
remote lakes it’s the only way to stock them with trout
Three inch
fingerlings loaded into planes that fly low
Hopefully
for the fingerlings they also fly slow
Bombs away
or rather trout away
A remote
lake is stocked without delay
Do the trout
survive the bombing drop?
Most swim
away but a few float dead to the top
These remote
lakes must be very small
Or
surrounded by high mountain walls
Otherwise one
would use a plane with pontoons
To land and
then gently onto the lake strewn
For once we
have albeit at the state level government doing something right
Stocking fish
by air to all anglers great delight
