Great photos, thanks for sharing!

Wyoming has tiger trout at High Savory Reservoir (west of Saratoga). I've yet to catch one though, but I'm going to put more of an effort into it this year.

So are they a hybrid? a fish brought in from another country?

Here is what the High Savery web site says about Tiger Trout:
High Savery Reservoir is the only Wyoming water hosting the tiger trout species. Tiger trout are completely sterile, so their numbers can be strictly controlled by stocking. The Tiger trout is a cross between a Brook and Brown Trout, resulting in a fairly aggressive fish. State record is 22" and 3.33 lbs.

Was contacted by email today by one of their columnists.
They wanted a telephone number for me. They want to interview
me. They are doing a TIGER trout piece.

Will supply some photos possibly also.
