Hi there TubeN2,
From what I can get with a super search on my favorite search engine, there is over a thousand trout and steelhead hatcheries in California both private, DFG, and research or university programs. Awesome number of mom and pop facilities.
It's really wild, with so many hatcheries around, some of the pay-to-fish-lakes still go out of state for certain species.
