[#0000ff]I have caught quite a few steelhead along the Pacific coast and the Yuba bows come as close to steelhead as any trout I have ever caught.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am sure the high protein diet (fathead minnows) helps them store up a lot of energy. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It must be their brown trout side of the family because brookies are not widely known for being very tough. Pretty, good eating and fun to catch...but not tough.[/#0000ff][/reply]
Tuberdude -- you NEED to go fish Minersville. NOTHING fights like a Minersville rainbow. If you enjoyed the rainbows at Yuba, you'll love the rainbows at Minersville. By the way, I don't think it has anything to do with fathead minnows. I'd be willing to bet if you looked at those bows in Yuba (just like Minersville) you'd find them full of zooplankton, and possibly small crayfish.
One other side-note -- Brook trout are very much known for their aggressive attitude, and fight. I think with Tiger Trout, you are combining a Bull (Brown Trout) with a Tasmainian Devil (Brook trout). One is just brute force. The other has a nasty attitude. The result, is a pissed off powerfull fish!
We know that it is possible for Tiger Musky to be in Fishlake. However, their numbers are going to be extremely minimal. My suggestion would be to go to Fishlake in search of the Lake Trout, Splake, Rainbow Trout, or Brown Trout. Then, you won't be disappointed when you don't catch one, and you will be happy if you do!
