RAH,

Check with your DNR, or Dept. of Conservation, or whatever it's called in IN. It seems that most States have either a list of approved species or a list of prohibited species. If IN has a list of approved species and CP aren't on it, you might look into what would have to be done to try to get them approved. If you talk to someone with the State, you may have to press them a bit to be sure you're getting the right answer. I talked to several people in WI and got several different answers. If you talk to someone, be sure they know which fish you're talking about. They may assume you're talking about northern pike or some other fish. That happened to me. First the official said "Sure they're legal." Then is said there's no such fish as a chain pickerel, then he looked them up and said they're not native in WI so they can't be raised, or stocked, or sold there. He said he'd been in his position for 20 yr and had never heard of chain pickerel.
