Im doing some small area mapping on a new spawning run in Idaho. I took the pictures and when I got done I noticed a fish in the picture. Can you all spot it? If the bottom is gravel and the water not deeo drones could be a great way to spot large fish.

its not a bad thing when a wealthy guy buys a bunch of prime trout land and then build a spawning tributary to have a self sustaining population.

That looks cool bro. I guess the next step for the drone is to get it licensed and outfitted with fishing gear.

That will give you the chance to fish from your vehicle with a nice monitor.

I circled the two things that I think might be trout in the attached pic.

there were 5 fish in the pool- 4 small ones of about 6-8 inches and the top circle is correct it was a bonneville cutthroat of about 16 inches!!
