While you will probably get several generous offers of fish, I am curious
as to what is driving this "re-stocking". Is this a private stream? Who
determined that these species where native to that stream? How? If they are
native why do they need to be "re-stocked"? If something caused them to die
off or caused their populations to dwindle, has that problem/cause been
removed? Also, is this being done by an organization or an individual?

I'm sure there are more questions to ask and I do not want to dampen
anyones enthusiasm to restore our natives, but I think these need to be
answered before proceeding.

Besides, inquiring minds need to know! haha
