Quick Uinta Trip with Tigers! - MasterDaad - 09-11-2012
I took a quick trip up to Trial Lake last weekend. I didn't have a lot of time but wanted to try to add Tiger Trout to my catch list this year.
The Trial Lake trip was an amazing success. In about 2 hours around lunch time I caught 21 fish including Rainbows, Cutthroat, and yes, Tigers.
Most the fish were 10-12 inchers I threw back, but I kept one 14" Rainbow and one 13" Tiger for dinner (to add to a few perch caught at Deer Creek on the way up).
In one stretch, I had 5 consecutive casts with fish... and rarely went more than 4 casts without one.
Fun day of fishing -- yielding some very tasty fish for dinner.
BTW -- I noticed the Tiger was both oilier and the skin was "thicker" than the Rainbow. From a cleaning and prepping perspective, the Tiger was a bit more work. Is that normal?

That was how my tiger was from Trial. It didn't taste very good either. It tasted like a community pond trout. I guess it depends on what they're eating/what species they are, and what water they are in.
