Does anyone in the whole US raise chain pickerel? Zetts in Drifting PA used to sell CP but they are not a current species. Evidently Zetts was able to spawn them in ponds and sell fingerlings.
I don't know of any commercial growers but there is still Redneckfly if he can be persuaded to part with some. Would there be an issue transporting them across state lines?
As a follow-up to this, the chain pickerel experiment was a success. Put about 7 adult size CP in the pond...now it seems there are about 17,000 in there. We are having to remove them now to keep their numbers in check. Apparently they reproduce well in shallow, weedy small ponds. I think the bass are having a hard time controlling their numbers due to the vegetation in the pond. They are fun to catch though and add some nice diversity when the bass are not cooperative.
