I've thought about it. It would be an expensive venture.

ok i haven't done it myself (yet) but i was talkng to a local dec guy ad he had gotten eggs from a hatchery and raised them to about 6 in. umm im probably going to get flamed for this not being me who had done it but he told me how he did it and if you want i can tell you what he told me. and for the record he did browns.

you would need a chiller. A strong current flow and also places where there are no currents.

Basically you need a cool river. Sounds difficult

like scanctuary said, you will need to recreate a small river and they will need alot of care.

he basically told me that he conneted three long but skinny cattle troughs into a U like shape. then the filter on the ends of the U. then he took coiled copper piping and a dorm style fridge and put the coil in the fridge and connected it to the trough and added a small pump to that. he said that it was hard to get the water to stay in a reasonable limit but once he had it it stayed there. he did that cause it was way cheaper than the cost of an actual chiller. he also said he added an insane amount of air stones to keep the oxygen high enough.

Sounds like way too much work to be worth it...
