Over the spring I took a little time to target Massachusetts most hard fighting trout, the Tiger Trout. Pound for pound their aggression, vigor and fighting ability surpasses all other trout. The video contains a compilation of clips of some of the Tigers I pulled out thus far this season. The Tiger Trout is a sterile hybrid trout produced by fertilizing female brown trout eggs with male brook trout sperm. Because their a hybrid many trout snobs dub them as Franken fish or some man made lab fish that should be discontinued. However to argue this point these fish can occasionally occur in the wild, in areas with breeding populations of brown and brook trout that both share the same waters. These occurrences are extremely rare but do happen. Most tiger trout (as the ones in this video) are hatchery bred and stocked by the division of fisheries and wildlife and are a product of the Sandwich State Fish Hatchery and stocked annually.

Thanks! I got them on spinners, flies and rappalas.
State stocks them in all districts. The ones in the video were caught in the Northeast district. To find them near your neck of the woods Look up the trout waters near your home on the MassWildlife website. By Looking at the stocking schedule. Any stockings shown that have been listed with an asterisk* are the waters that received tiger plantings.
