Here in Illinois, the state will stock a pond for you for free. The only downfall of this,...you must allow them to do creel surveys whenever they like and another rumor is you have to allow anyone to fish it.

Here you need to check with the fish and wildlife service before hand so they can make sure that the fish couldn't get out and get into other waters. They put a$10,000 fine on illegal stocking so I would check with your state laws first.
There is a hatchery in NW Pa called named ZETTS..... They have all kinds of fish and I have bought channel cats there several times...They are located out in the boonies near Snowshoe....
