California stocks tons of trout, there has to be at least a few hatcheries around. Search for aquaculture facilities.
I have found some, but there isn't any info about if they ship or not, they are pretty far from my area.
it would be difficult to transport them.

find out if the fish and game stock near you and see if you can cut a deal and meet them at a stocking location.
The reason you can't find any that ship is mostly because the trout won't survive the shipping process. They are very sensitive fish, which explains why few people keep them. Even the site I linked to doesn't guarantee live arrival on trout.
The only people I have seen here who have trout have either caught them, or had contacts at fisheries who were able to supply.
Anyway, I hope you have a big tank with a chiller if you are planning on getting them, especially in CA. If you can't keep the water in the mid-60's forget about it, they won't survive.

You have to call them. They don't take online orders. # should be on the contact page.
