Does anyone here know where I can get some of these fish? I would like to stock my future pond with them.
Thank You.

Call one of your local fish farms in your area, and they should be able to point you into the right direction. You can also google the name of the fish and the word fish farm, and that would help you find whomever is selling these types of fish.
This is a native species so I doubt they are on the market.I am sure someone else will know more info here.
I just googled it and you're right Stephen. Since they are a UK native, there doesn't appear to be a local way to buy them here in the US. From what I read very quickly, they seem to be considered a predatory fish that will eat anything else that is in the pond with it and can devastate natural food chains. They are considered illegal in most parts of the US.
Looks like unless you find one in a local lake or brook, you won't be buying one TSS.
