Our local supplier is not able to supply us with fish this year
and other hatcheries are too far away, so transportation costs are not affordable.

We will try to stock them again next winter and we will let you know if we are able to do that. We apologize for not being able to do it this winter, but we thank you for your understanding of this matter.
