Tiger Trout, are a sterile hybrid cross between a female Brownie and a male Brook trout,
The main question would be, how do they compare fight wise, to a Rainbow or Blue?

Some time back in the 70s these were popular additions to stockings,had a couple on my go to pattern then ( lime green backed baby doll),dont seem to remember anything exciting about them other than the interesting colouration ,vagley remember them being fair eating.

Well, having watched The Jungle Book several thousand times with the kids I think the age old principal still applies ........... if you grab one by the tail don't let go. Baloo made this mistake and the consequences were nearly fatal.

They fight well, as Shere Khan demonstrated, but with guile and cunning and some help, as Mowgli got from the Vultures, then you can over come them.

And every one lives happily ever after.

I've had a couple and they fought extremely well. One in particular was a bit of a savage beast that looked well 'ard with a huge gob and quite a pronounced bottom jaw.
