Your best bet would be to contact the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife.
They have a list available of private hatcheries that sell fish species.
Everything from white sturgeon to bluegill. The list used to be online, but
apparently was removed after December 5th from their website.
I am afraid that might be your best source of fishes. Unless you angle for
them with an fishing license, or catch them by hand with a fishing license,
and by hand really means without a net or any other collecting gear; not
impossible, but difficult. Oregon has severe laws as regards collecting
fishes with nets or traps.
Good Luck,

I live in the Northwest hills in Portland, OR & now have a large outdoor
pond fed by a recirculating creek. I am most interested in stocking it with
small non-endangered Northwest native fish. I have had difficulty finding
information about appropriate species & how to obtain them. Thank you for
any
information that you can provide. Burt lazar
