Bill,
I did not know the state limited the numbers of fish as I never order any. I think they should do away with the program all together. Its direct competetion for guys like me, Greg, and all the private fish hatcheries. The way I see it if you have enough cash to build a pond these days then you have the cash to stock the fish.
glad to hear its Greg on the job. there are several companies around that wont do as good of a job. If Greg did your shocking then your numbers are accurate.
I remember when that job came around for bidding. I talked to someone over there but never received the bid package. I figured Greg would get it anyway, being in his "backyard".
As far as fish that show up in ponds, my theory is they get in during storm events, moving through ditches, drains, etc. If your pond flows around the emergency spillway (even once)then its connected to the stream behind the pond. but I have seen some ponds that could not have been flooded that have some strange species of fish. cant explain those but I'm not buying the fish eggs on the ducks feet either.
