There are a couple of hatcheries where I am at in Nor Cal. Problem is they are not very user friendly, and barely advertise. Problem #2, they do not have your desired species. They most have baitfish, sturgeon, trout and catfish. I think most of the better ones were regulated to death and either sold, folded or just left for greener pastures, no pun intended. I have Fla strain exclusively in one of my ponds. But without dna testing that could mean anything as even FLA LMB have some mixed genes these days. I bet smallies would thrive there. I have the same exact problems, the fish cost more to ship than the fish themselves. I might be able to help you, in fact I know I can. Where do you want to start?
