Tiger Trout at Strawberry

[fishguru73]

That's definitely a tiger trout. I went to the DWR web site and read the stocking report for Strawberry and there was no mention of tiger trout. I think that exotics sometimes get into other holding ponds for rainbows and cutthroats then end up in the stocking truck with them. I once caught a small splake in the stream up AF canyon and I suspect he got there the same way. I let him go but I doubt he is still around because that stream gets pounded hard by novices that feel compelled to keep everything they catch.
