Son and I went out this evening in the row boat, to a local lake where we caught some fish I'd never seen before - apparently the WDFW is stocking these "Tiger Trout" in some of our lakes: ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/fishing%20photos/IMG_2001.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/fishing%20photos/IMG_1998.jpg) Very aggressive little critters. Caught a bunch of 'em on dry flies from the rowboat. Good fun!

The tiger is a cross between a brown and a brook trout.
Guns are like guitars - you can never have too many.

So, are these a sterile hybrid.
Wonder what the advantage is?
Look KEWL by the way!

Duh, I went out an did a web search.
They are actually copying a fish that does occur in nature. Utilized varied technique (who in the heck stumbles on the method to change % of viable eggs) make it a viable fish to raise.
Be interesting to see if it were more heat tolerant like the brown or requiring the better water quality like a brookie.
Still KEWL looking

Not a bad trout, the Utah DWR is in love with Tigers. Tigers are great if you have a lake you want to keep a cutthroat population from hybridizing with rainbows. Also, since they are sterile, Tigers won't over populate like Brookies have a tendency to do.
They are a great eating fish. They fight well. They are also, in general, very aggressive. However, I have fished one lake on Manti Mountain in Utah where the Tigers are a bit tough to catch.
I've had good luck on red leeches in the fall. A Halloween leech is also a great fly. This time of year I use a size 8 or 10 orange soft hackle fly. I use a ghastly bright orange thread which I cover with hares mash fur using Gary LaFointaine's touch dubbing method. The hackle is a ginger hen hackle. I use thuis fly as a trailer to mimic the October Caddis.
And as far as getting them drunk first to mate. I suspect the DWR uses a bucket...........a bucket to mix the eggs and sperm together.
