Driftless Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Was helping film an underwater documentary and noticed what I thought was a tiger trout in the Aqua View. After the filming was done.....I threw in and yes in deed it was a "rare" stream born tiger trout from the driftless area in Wisconsin.

tom_w Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 What a strange color. The others on your site are so vividly colored...Could you see the worm-like patterns?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchmesir Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i have never caught a tiger trout.. but i still consider myself pretty "new" to the whole trout fishing scene.. only been fishing for trout over the past 4 years or so now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftless Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think the tigers take on the color of the brookies from the area. The above tiger and brookie were caught in the same hole. The brookie and 2 tigers taken from the same hole. If the brookies are muted the tigers will be Colorful brookie and tiger caught from the same hole.
