[quote LOAH]I have to disagree with BG1 on this one, on two counts (sorry, Dave).
1. I don't think that's a male. I've caught myself thinking I had males from the nice color, but then I realize that they're not. A white belly is a good indicator, but not perfect.
2. Tigers with white bellies have some of the best trout meat out there, after brookies. Even big ones.
(BTW - NICE CATCH!)[/quote]I agree, LOAH, now that I tilt my screen differently, it does look like a female.....BUT....all mature male tiger trout I have eaten have been tan-fleshed and foul. Those big, pink meated females are indeed nearly as palatable as the esteemed and delectable brook trout.
