natural tigers are rare ..... the brookies or browns are moving their turf.
Most hybrids, even natural ones, would be sterile. This leads them to having a voracious appetite, and resulting wicked growth rates. In stocked lakes up here they are seeing about 5 inches plus growth a year after stocking.

Could the more frequent tigers be due to over-population of brookies and browns in the streams ? Or has the habitat changed that might cause the browns to move upstream or the brookies downstream - hence more frequently overlapping their turfs ?

I could be all wet and wrong in my guesses (cannon fodder / food for thought) - either way - enjoy them and have fun.
