Yeah getting fish from state and federal hatcheries is pretty much a dead end with very few exceptions.
Waterbug I woukd call John Nelski at Crystal Springs before you show up as he is a busy man and does his own hauling. He's easiest to get a hold of first thing in the morning. Phone number is: (231) 719-0335.
I bought 125 6 to 8 inch brook trout from him last November and they are now 15 to 16 inches. Should be 19 to 22 inches this time next year in the 4 to 6 pound range. Of course my 1/10th acre pond stays cool enough year around as it's fed by a well 24/7 7 months of the year.
