Tigers

[BrkTrt]

Those new green leaves in the forest are almost shining!
The coloration of the brookies seems slightly different from that of the fish you have posted so far, though they look very beautiful too.

I understand tiger trout is a hybrid of brook trout and brown trout. Are they spontaneously born between wild brookies and browns, or stocked by people?

Satoshi,

The brook trout have subdued colors from time to time especially the females.

The stream I'm fishing is never stocked. It has a good self sustaining population of wild browns and brook trout.

The tiger is sterile and is a result of a female brown trout laying eggs and they are fertilized by a male brook trout..

Not sure what those tiger markings remind me of....an anaconda, leopard,
....in any case they make an very unusual & stunning looking trout.

Nice stream by the way !
