Now that the fishing season is winding down - at least for me anyways - I've done some reflecting on this past year.
It was a very good one for me - the streams were rarely unfishable because of high water, and I sure caught my share.
But I also did something this year that I never did before - catch a tiger trout. In fact, I caught 4 or 5 of them - 2 in the exact same spot on the Yough river a few weeks apart, so i could have caught the same fish twice there. And a buddy of mine caught one for the first time in his life within minutes after one of my catches in the Yough, so there were definitely at least 2 in that stretch of river.
Anyway, it seems rather odd that, after never having caught one before, to catch that many in one season. From what I've read about them, they seem to be quite rare.
I should also point out that I caught them in 3 different streams many miles apart, so I definitely wasn't catching the same fish over and over, other than the 2 pointed out above. I caught at least 4 different ones for sure
Just wondering if anyone else has caught tiger trout this year
