[cool][#0000ff]There have been several potential warm water hatchery sites identified. As I recall, most of them have problems with the water supply...either the chemistry or the existence of disease or parasites in the water or streambed.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Once a site is found suitable, it has to go through the whole approval and funding process. Don't buy a bunch of new bass tackle just yet.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Right now about the only warm water stuff in the state is the location near Lake Powell for raising wipers. All other warm water species have been purchased out of state, and trucked in. Pretty costly and there is more and more concern about the potential for nasty diseases.[/#0000ff]
