I'm gonna have to get out there to UT, we don't have tiger trout in NY. Gorgious

Not naturally but I do know one place they are stocked that you can open water fish only. ;) ;D
-
Biggest one I've seen was 27in caught thru the ice by my buddy. My personal best is 25in caught off the bank in the fall
-
Thats amazing!!!!!

Where would that happen to be? ;D Wouldn't mind crossing another trout off the ol' list.

Yes we do. And yes, naturally.......not common however.
-
thats a cool looking fish
-
They are a very sharp looking fish
-
nice fish :)

A natural tiger? Tigers are a stocked fish. You can't have a natural tiger because they are a sterile intergeneric fish.
-
its a cross between a female brown trout and a male brookie.
If Those salmon (King and Coho) can cross supposedly naturally in the great lakes than why couldn't the tiger happen naturally.
I would think that If it did, it would be very rare. Considering that even in a controlled environment (hatchery) the success rate is generally less than 20%.

the tiger trout it self is sterile. although the males will still go through the physical changes that a male trout will go through during the spawn (hooked jaws, kind of pan out a little)
-
they stock them here in ct. i have one pond i catch them all the time. they are real aggressive. thats a beauty. i've caught them up to 16"
i read they are a good stocking fish because their growth rate is fast. i've also caught them in a couple of rivers in eastern ct.

The tigers are a sterile fish from what i have read up on them from my state fisheries biologists and yes they are very agressive with a fast growth rate. I have only had 2 occasions to get them with the brookie spawn colors going and its also impressive. Ill add a pic with one. Such a blast to catch. They attack rapalas. Ill have packs of 2 or 3 follow right to the bank pretty consistantly in the fall. Then when they see you they head out and with another cast just past them they'll do it all over again. Good times.

Check the NY DEC stocking list and you might find a body of water that is stocked near you...I have caught a few Tigers but only one was a naturally occuring fish up in the head waters of a small brook trout stream that does not get any stocking...Great looking fish!
-
Awesome looking fish

Tigers themselves may be sterile but they are the offspring of a brook trout and a brown. Since both spawn in the fall, any stream that has naturally occuring brooks and browns in it has the chance of producing tiger trout. It doesn't happen often, and isn't common, but yes, they occur in the wild. It seems like for whatever reason, certain watersheds produce them while many other do not.........conditons have to be perfect.

I know they are a cross - intergeneric - but they have to heat shock the fertilized egg to create the extra set of chromosomes (the brown is a salmon and the brook is a char)... How would that naturally happen? I'm not doubting it, just curious.

They are cool looking fish. Wish we had them in Maine ;D Nice catch.

While uncommon it happens. Extra chromosomes occur even in humans on occasion i.e. Downs Syndrome.
An excerpt from a statement by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, regarding Shenandoah NP :
" Hybridization with brown trout has been documented in every park stream containing cohabitant populations of both species. The progeny resulting from male brook trout and female brown trout are known generally as “tiger trout”. Within the few park streams where both species coexist, tiger trout are occasionally encountered. Interestingly, tiger trout encounters seem to occur during periods when the brown trout population is depressed creating conditions where female brown trout are more likely to be encountered and spawned by male brook trout. Reciprocal crosses between male brown trout and female brook trout have never been observed in the wild. These progeny known as “leopard trout” have only been produced artificially among captives and are morphologically different in external comparison to tiger trout. "

Now thats some very informative reading on cross breading done all by itself. Sounds good to me. Thanks gumpy2. Im just happy to have had the chance to tangle with some of these beautiful fish which have all been returned to battle another day. I just wish some of the other people that fish the lakes we have them in here would do the same. Take a bow home as they will reproduce!
-
Interesting trout!! :) Never had a chance to go after one.
-
beautiful fish. id want one mounted.

Great looking fish!!!

Thx guys they are great fighters
-
Looks Tasty :) nice catch!
-
They can actually occur naturally, although it is very rare. I caught one out of a stream near where I grew up that was only 5" long, which was too small to have been stocked(not to mention that the stream wasn't stocked to begin with!). I was in college for fisheries and wildlife management and showed it to my fisheries Prof, who confirmed it was a tiger.
-
crazy!
-
That is a really cool fish, I've never seen one of them before.

I found a pic of this 27incher my buddy caught a couple of winters ago while looking for a pic to enter in the contest, just had to post it up after i decided to go with a sunset pic instead. Beautiful fish

heres the 25in i caught
(http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee399/muskyon46/233.jpg)
sorry about blurring out the great scenery from these lakes but some people will take everyone home they catch, we just want them to get bigger
-
I have seen video of people catching these in Michigan. Only tiny ones though, these are huge!
-
ya them fish are fun i cannot wait till fall to go get some tiger on. my best i think is 26 what you think musky46 ;D, but i want the ice to get here ;D ;D ;D
-

-
Wow! Great looking fish!
-
getting ready to go for them, we hope to get in to some nice ones maybe the wall mounter ;D
-
made our 1st ice trip to the high country friday and found some safe ice that had plenty of willing tigers

-
Nice fish polski, the reds in that thing are awesome. We keep tryin to get them when they get the spawn colors going, but it can be tough to time every year with the way our resevoirs fluctuate around here. Again nice fish
-
that a nice mount i would like to get a 27in and put it on the wall
-
Nice, always like the driftwood mounts.
-
Great pictures guys!
-
Never got one. Mostly stocked right?
-
Yes they are here in utah, but there is the possibilty to happen natrually just not in utah. They are all home grown at the hatcheries
-
nice. a fish id love to cross off the list
-
These fish are really cool looking. I did a Google image search and found these nice pics:

tigers are a hybrid they can not reproduce on their own , i have caught alot of them in CT
-
Nice. Never caught one.

pretty cool how the color can very in these fish
very nice and rare too i am i NY,i don't think we even have any,it seem massachusetts and Connecticut do !!!
-
ive cought both stocked and wild tiger trout, read into it they do occur as a hybrid where brookies and browns and mix. Seems to occur in places where brookies outnumber browns and so a male brookie manages to get a "shot" in there without being buillied off by a larger male brown. still conditions have to be perfect as mortality is high. its much easier for the fry to survive in a hatchery and because they look cool private hatcheries raise them and fish and game clubs like to buy them and stock them. thats where the hatchery ones usually come from, here in NY at least.
-
I've got to catch one of these
-
Cool man!
I used to catch these things all the time as a kid.
I haven't seen one in years.
-
They are almost as pretty as Arctic Char!

x2 on that I have stream in my neck of the woods with Browns and Brook trout that naturally reproduce.. It hasnt happened consistently but in the past 20 years or so ive caught roughly half dozen Tiger trout.. This is over the course of 20years+ of fishing it 1 or so a month during trout season.. So yes very rare ocurance but it does happen..
-
They used to stock them in Palmer pond by Chestertown. My all time favorite trout. Aggressive and fought great. Also great eating. In the fall the colors were incredible. No two alike.
-
Nice lookin fish
-
beauties, those are some nice pics, congrats
-
Definitely the most beautiful trout out there in my opinion. I have only caught two in my life, both wild tigers and within a month of each other. Was fishing small native brookie streams and caught a beautiful 14 incher with a lot of reds in it the first time. Couldnt believe it an had to look it up to be sure of what it was. Then a few weeks later I caught a 10 inch tiger that had a lot less color while native brookie fishing again. Havent caught one since of course
-
Cool looking fish
-
Thanks everyone, Those google image ones look awesome with the spawn colors going. Wish i had got into some this last fall but got myself into a 2 1/2 month burbot derby and that consumed most of my time from mid nov till the end of jan. Spring is just around the corner here apparently with this crazy weather so are the ice off tigers
-
Good lookin fish
-
Until I joined this forum I never even knew tiger trout existed. They are stunning! Any idea how big they get? What's their temperament like?
-
these are some of the most beautiful fish out there! one day i will cross these buggers off my list!
-
nice thanks for the pic
