As the title says, amid pulling out a ton of rainbows, a nice brookie and a few small browns, I caught a tiger trout today for the first time. Pretty good looking fish too. Size 22 BWO emergers were killing it today, caught 17 fish on one that I tied myself and several more fish on a hairs ear I was fishing in tandem.
I'll take your opinions on whether the tiger was wild or stocked. I know they are insanely rare in the wild. I won't state my opinion though to keep the discussion unbiased, but let me know what you think. Doesn't really matter to me, I always just wanted to catch one, and got one now in less than a year of fly fishing (but many years of fishing).
Fished for about 3-4 hours and caught twenty fish. A bit of that time was spent walking and untangling flies (3 flies and 2 split shot can get messy no matter how careful you are). I missed over 30 fish either by missing strikes or having fish come off the hook (15+ fish, mostly smaller bows).
