Shep, if you order from an Arkansas stocker(I think Dunns is in Ar. not OK.), call them and find out what their delivery schedule is. I was able to get fish on Monday AM in SW Miss. The truck left Sunday from the hatchery. Not too bad. They were in very good condition. Delta, formerly Dixie, in Liberty, Ms. has a good biologist/owner, name is Picard, but the phone staff is so incompetent I have picked up fish from the coop. in Tylertown 45 min. away when they never got back with info and never had the owner call back. I will next try a hatchery in Lumberton Ms. Go to the MSU pond management site, they have a list of hatcheries and what they stock. Have heard good things about Suttles. There has to be some hatcheries close to you. Delta used to be in Clinton, La. I believe. They have someone in S.E. La. I think.
