I wonder whether or not you should mention the Pond Boss Forum on your initial visits to a given hatchery.

There are some hatcheries that, due to their own actions, are at odds with the forum. Many of these hatcheries give stocking recommendations that don't jive with the experience base/brain trust here on the forum.

While you would not want to follow such a hatcheries recommendations, you may still want to source specific fish from them.

Asking about a hatchery here on the forum is invaluable.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
