[QUOTE="millstreaminn, post: 1387638, member: 4844"] I bought a batch of eyed trout eggs from this place about 10 years ago. [url=http://www.troutlodge.com/]http://www.troutlodge.com/[/url] I don't remember the price, (seems like it was less than $400.00) but I do remember the minimum order was 30,000 eggs. They hatch in about a week, takes about another week for them to absorb their yolksac, then you go to feeding them. I raised them in wooden boxes up to 1", then in stainless steel milk tanks to 3" then into the raceway. I did sell them for people to stock their ponds, never had anyone come and fish for them themselves. Seems like starting with 30,000 eggs, ended up with about 10,000 8-10" ready to sell. I did keep some up to 14", but they will eat you out of house and home. Plus, a 14" fish costs the buyer 2x as much as a 10". One thing I remember is you will need a way to grade your fish for size. You will always get some that will grow crazy fast and feast on the smaller ones. [/QUOTE]
