Bought a few before from coolwaterfishfarms.net but seems they’re no longer in business. Anyone know where I can get juveniles at?
Yellow Perch?

look round in your area for a hatchery. IM not sure if a state hatchery would sell to the public or not. A friend of my dads got his from a hatchery but was stocking a 4,000 gal pond. Im hoping I can get some from there to freeze for stingray food
jonahsaquarium.com is the only one who has them of the 3 native places I know of. When I used to keep my own, I used to just go out and catch them.
I've been in contact with Jonahs Aquarium but they're currently out of stock which isn't an issue. Said they should be back in soon. There's also a hatchery pretty close to me that is not opened but opens in the spring and I will try there. Only problem about catching them for me is I cannot find a place that you consistently catch them 1-4"
I found catching the smaller ones hard myself. I think mine were 4-5 inches when I started. But I suppose it depends on what you like. For me the collecting was part of the fun 
. Good luck with the hatchery.

I had a few small ones that I got from Jeff Rapps a while back.
Good looking fish but they were rather picky eaters.

Any where they stock trout is good place to start. Usually early spring and late fall is good to get the small ones.
Yeah the place around me offers them early spring might wait until there unless Jeff gets them beforehand.
