Tiger#9

[Driftless]

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.

That is a beautiful fish!! Last time I saw one of those was about 15 years ago in the kinni. Rare indeed!!!

What a strange color. The others on your site are so vividly colored...

Could you see the worm-like patterns??

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

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
