Got my first Tiger Trout earlier this week.

Tiger Trout are found naturally, but a hybrid is the result of a cross between a female brown trout and a male brook trout.
Lake Superior Coaster Brook Trout and Native Brook Trout in the waters on in the waters of Isle Royale I am familiar with……Catch and Release only.
“Coasters,” if you aren’t familiar with the term, are brook trout that migrate into Lake Superior and then return to the small streams of their birth to spawn. Although once thought by most to be a unique brook trout strain the latest genetic research done in the Nipigon Bay region of Canada supports the theory that these fish are simply stream source brook trout. The study results said that: coasters come from tributary brook trout populations and just grow faster and reach larger sizes in the lake than their siblings that remain in streams. When coasters mature they return to the stream to spawn with their stream dwelling brothers and sisters.
