For those who are looking to start a system and are having trouble finding fish I hope this might help. Chapman Valley fish farm situated north of Geraldton have silver perch available and can be brought to Perth for collection, if you are interested give them a call to arrange purchase on 0400618484.

Pemberton still have rainbow trout available in limited numbers and the area is lovely at this time of year if you are up for a drive, they can be contacted on 97761044.

If anyone knows of other supplies around please let us know.

Woodvale Fish and Lily farm have Trout for those only after small numbers and they will have Silver Perch available in a couple of weeks.

King trout cafe in pemberton will also supply but i think their prices are a bit higher than the hatchery. They have a very nice farm and lake and definetly worth dropping by if in the area, catch a few while you're there and have them cooked up with a nice garden salad and chips. You can even bring a nice local bottle of wine to wash it down with!! Check their website for location and details!

Geraldton only have 4 to 6 inch fish @ $4.50 each. Not really a price I am willing to pay. They reckon to get fingerlings over from east costs around $3 each - still too expensive.

So you've been spoilt..... It's a bad year this year so people are just going to have to pay what the going rate is..

Just to let everyone know, we just had a call from Pemberton trout hatchery, they are out of trout.......
