plant tiger trout in the berry

[cool][#0000ff]Overall, the tigers do not seem to grow any faster or better than the cutts in Scofield. Both species has to find a way to survive and grow enough to reach the size where they can live on the chubs. That means that for the first part of their lives they are competing with chubs for the food to allow them to grow big enough to eat chubs.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most anglers who fish Scofield regularly observe that most trout are somewhat small and skinny up to a point. Then, once they change their dining habits they can put on length and weight.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If a tiger makes the switch early enough in its life cycle it can put on some serious weight. However, tigers do not live as long as macks so there is probably an upward limit on the ultimate size they will attain before dieing of old age. We just had a new state record established. Let's see if that is going to be a regular thing...or if that fish was at the top of the heap.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I don't fish Strawberry as much as I used to in earlier years. Too many other places with other species I prefer. Sorry but I cain't abide fishing for mostly cutts. Like kissing your sister. No fun at all. I like the idea of catching more rainbows, but still not enough to get me to slow down on the way to Starvation. But I gotta admit that if there was a better chance of getting connected to some bodacious tigers I might be more tempted to plop down on Da Berry once in a while.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Tigers have proven that they will grow in excess of 10 pounds in suitable waters with plenty of chow. But to expect them to reach 20 pounds in any Utah pond might be dreamin'. Love to see it but not banking on it.[/#0000ff]
