1000 brooks, 1000 browns, 1000 tigers. Got the O.K. from my DNR last year and shouldn't be a problem this year. Eggs will come from these guys. http://www.coldspringstroutfarm.comDecided on diploids vs. triploids. Hope to have a cold water partial recirculating aquaculture system up and running by the following spring to grown them out to large size, but if not I'll use the flow through trout pond. For hatching all I need is one of these: http://pentairaes.com/hatching-jar-and-hanger.htmland an iron filter. I have two wells I can utilize. Trout are the only thing I haven't hatched yet and frankly it will be great not to drive to pick the small ones up for grow out from Michigan. I have lots of calls for tigers and haven't been able to get a supplier.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Maybe about 8+ years or so ago, my niece was involved in a high school program called Trout in the Classroom. They hatched and raised Brook Trout for that year. DNR stocked them in a local river.
She really wanted to be a DNR officer, but found that Forensics on the criminal side was a bit more fun.

I've heard of those school programs. Once my four high schools get proficient at rearing fish in my RAS's maybe I can set them up with the hatching of trout eggs.
At the college fisheries program I graduated from in Michigan, we hatched brook trout. We planted them in some creeks that fed into Lake Huron. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of hands on because of working the dorm switchboard. (Work Study).
That same program was the first to hatch and plant Pacific salmon into Lake Huron a year or two before I showed up.
Ironically I was in the process of transferring to the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point but financial aid came too late. Turns out I would have been there the same time and probably would have taken some of the same classes as Esshup.

Very cool! You think you will ever try any Splake? Probably not for two reasons: 1. Vertually no market among taxidermists. 2. No private suppliers of eggs that I'm aware of.

Tigers are more unique and interesting in appearance.
