Midwest not sure why you would not go with my advice get the state fish cheap then add you some larger ones from private hatchery a little later.
FOlks I sell fish for a living but try to be fair, each state is diff on what they consider theirs. In reality many are like Ill the state considers them their fish no matter where they came from. Many do not want to deal with state. Im glad that is the case, others miss the small window when avail. However if timed right and they live close by and want to take time to pick them up then I say fine go with it just follow my plan and buy more if that fits in ther goals.
Keep preaching private stocking though it keeps us in business.
