I found the aerial stocking fascinating as well. I always wondered about that and the mortality rate of the fish hitting the water. The Green River episode is particularly disturbing, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like that could happen again (the cynic in me). Those notes/bibliography are pretty amazing: he did some major research on that book. Ray, Those were interesting stories. I found the aerial stocking fascinating as well.

Anders Halverson, PhD deserves to get an "A" for this effort. By the way, I am still cruising his footnotes. Ray Scott,

There is also the story of the Pyramid Lake Lahontan cuttthroats (I think it's them) that were traveling through Utah by train (sounds like they were regular passengers, but it was in containers of water). The train had a problem and they dumped them in a creek by the Nevada/Utah border. A century later they were used to repopulate Pyramid Lake. So the train incident on the Delaware could easily be that. Or, somebody just wanted to have rainbows there so they stocked them. Bob,

I'd be interested on his take of how the McCloud River rainbows got stocked in the Delaware. The story is the train broke down and they dumped the fish in the river to save them. I am not crazy about invasive species, but I am glad the hard-fighting rainbows are in the Delaware! Nice review Scot.
