 Wyoming Game and Fish Department stocks over 5 million fish annually. Fish are stocked by truck to most locations, but also by boats, helicopters, ATVs and occasionally horses. Stocking fish by horseback in Wyoming likely began in the 1930s, since the majority of alpine lakes did not originally have fish. Fish were often transported in milk cans on the backs of horses in large packstrings. They are no longer packed in milk cans, but horses are still used!?Join the Jackson crew?as they stock 750 Snake River cutthroat trout into Mystery Lake.
