[quote brookieguy1][quote TyeDyeTwins][quote brookieguy1] I think my distaste for tiger trout is almost as well known as my dislike of cutthroats. [pirate][/quote]
You do remember those nasty tigers are half brookie right?[sly][/quote]Yes. I just wish the other half was brook trout!
I don't know what has caused me to lose total interest in tiger trout, but I have. I would much rather catch a large splake. At least splake can happen naturally and are two char species crossed.[/quote]
I too have noticed your dislike of tigers... I was really big on them at first but I am not as obsessed as I used to be. Still love them though, one of my favorite species. Brookies and browns are both very cool species of fish... seeing a cross between the two is interesting to say the least.
Tigers can be insanely "aggressive" and their appetite amazes me. I love how fast they grow and how big they can get,.... their colors can be amazing. They are great fish to stock (splake too for same reason) because they clean up trash fish so well and since they can't reproduce their numbers can be managed easily.
With that said though, one in about every 10 tiger trout I catch kind of looks a little off or odd. When you cross link two species (in this case char with a trout!) you end up with some mutations and some odd-balls. I think these occasional fish detract from the species as a whole....but they are a pretty neat fish.
