| driftless area Posts: 58 | All below trout are from midwestern small streams. Can you name all of them? < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 1 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 2 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 3 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 4 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 5 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 6 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 7 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 8 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 9 < /> (The image file this user tried to include was not found.) 10 | |

| Vanderbilt, Michigan Posts: 102 | Can you name all of them? Yes, but then I had your help. Hehehehe. Any who, the so called "tiger" trout is interesting since it's a hybrid "native" to Eastern Europe. According to Silvio Calabi in Trout & Salmon Of The World; the "tiger" trout is a cross between a subspecies of the Brook trout and a Brown. That one would've been a real stumper for me and would've guessed an "albino" Brookie, up until this morning I'd never heard of a "tiger" trout....had to look it up in the afore mentioned book.

 Eventually, all things merge into one...and a river runs through it. | ||

| Palmyra PA Posts: 908 | Way, way cool. I especially loved the color and pattern variation in the Browns, some of which I believe was due to age and/or size as well as diet and genes. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission actually stocks Tiger Trout sometimes, creating the hybrid in their fish labs. Once in a blue moon natives in streams with brooks and browns will produce hybrid Tigers too, but this is very rare. | |

| Hayward, WI. Posts: 108 | Hey Guy's- Click on Len's Profile then click on his Homepage. Some fantastic pictures on PhotoBucket. Len- I haven't been down to that part of the state but I do have a good friend in Viroqua. From the looks of it I'm missing out on some excellent fishing. | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 908 | Beautiful photos in that article on wild tigers. I've only caught a few tigers, and they were stocked. One run of the Tulpehocken had a tiger trout that I caught twice in one season. Thanks for sharing the photos and the article. | |

| Starlight PA Posts: 230 | Many years ago on the upper Mongaup, near the Debruce fish hatchery, I saw a nice brown of about 15" on a redd and a brook trout of about 13" seemed to be enamored by the brown trout and I watched them cavort for over half an hour before I left. | |
