[quote Ponchik]Back to my original question, does anyone know of a bass hatchery in Utah?...
I'm looking for a legitimate way to acquire game fish for personal use. Or have we just found a niche in the market?[/quote]
Private hatcheries must live up to the same standards as State run hatcheries -- which turns out to be very difficult for private hatcheries. It is expensive and the standards and qualifications are very strict. You'll find that there are very few private hatcheries that can make it in Utah.
Ponchik -- Again, call the UDWR. That's the only way you are going to find the answer to your questions. 801-538-4700 (Salt Lake Office)
Utah has numerous State run bass hatcheries. Here are a few of them:
