I talked to NE about raising CP. It's not impossible, but it would be quite a hassle. More hassle than I would want to get into. The source to the fish would have to be certified, 60 fish would be killed for examination and the rest of the lot would have to be kept in isolation (for a month, I think, but he might have said longer) . I think it would be possible to catch them in the wild in NE (but not in any other State) and build up you stock until you had enough to part with 60 for testing, but I didn't pursue that. I guess it would be the same procedure for any fish you're bringing in from out of State. He said he had gone through a lot of red tape with people trying to raise sauger and saugeye, and they failed.
