tiger trout

[lookincalifornia]

has any body seen or caught one of these brookie/brown hybreds? i've seen a few pics on an iowa outdoors site. they are beautiful. i guess they are very agressive and sterile, like a mule. just wondering if i've got a shot at these when i move to SE MN in a few years.

I haven't caught one yet, but it's on my list of things to attempt. They're good-looking, aggressive, and typically don't get very big but there are exceptions to every rule.

Fish where brook trout and brown trout are found and eventually you're bound to find a tiger trout.

The state record was caught in southeast Minnesota. Oddly enough it was from a stream that isn't known for holding brookies, but being a tributary to a larger river can make for interesting catches.

I have managed to catch 3 of them in SE MN. Interesting thing is that I caught them all over about a 5 year period in the 80's. They were all caught from different streams so it's not like one hatch populated a stream with a few of them.

Watching Ron Schara catch some tigers @ duck mt. prov. park. Looks awesome. C&R, artifical, no gas! A new pond every few miles to fish, can't beat that at all! Sounds like a fun adventure.

I caught one last spring along with some nice brookies. Awesome looking fish caught at an awesome (but secret) spot.
