[quote icesore]Any fat kid at a buffet will grow fatter, add competition and thoses that can find a niche will succeed. Tiger trout have by far out performed splake because they adapt to the environment.[/quote]
Are you suggesting that tiger trout coule "adapt to the environment" in Fish Lake, and somehow out-compete the perch?
No way.
It's not about being the "toughest" or the most "voracious". It's not about what they will and won't eat. It's about numbers. And, in a lake like Fish Lake you just can't compete with the number of perch in there. Tiger trout most likely wouldn't do anything different than the splake up there -- which happen to do very well.
So, as far as tiger trout go, what niche would they fill at Fish Lake? What would they eat that would be different than the splake?
I like tiger trout, but I don't believe that they would be a better fish at Fish Lake than the splake.
