“Tiger trout are a sterile cross of a brown and brook trout. The name comes from the wavy stripes along their body. A hatchery can readily produce them by fertilizing eggs of brown trout with sperm of brook trout, and heat-shocking them to create an extra set of chromosomes. Some claim they grow faster than either of their genetic origins.”

They’re a beautiful fish, and fun to catch too! I’ve caught a few here in Pennsylvania, including one big guy that ran 18-20 inches. I wrote about it in my blog:

When I was a kid, the CADFG was raising these guys at the Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery near Independence,CA…I understand they are planted on a regular basis in nmany Utah waters…
