Living near Hyrum Res', I was more then interested when I read
"[size 1]Tiger trout are now found in approximately 40 fishing waters throughout Utah, including Huntington, East Canyon, Hyrum, Joe's Valley, Pali
e and Rockport reservoirs and Panguitch Lake."[/size]
[size 1]Well... I've never caught a Tiger trout out of Hyrum, so I decided to call the DWR and get some info. Tiger trout have never been planted in Hyrum to date. They've tried Splake but they've never shown up in any surveys so they obviously didn't fair well. This will be the first year for Tiger trout. They'll put 25,000 fingerlings (3") in somewhere around mid July. I guess we'll have to waite a while before they're of any decent size to have fun catching. Next year may very well be fun for Tiger trout at Hyrum if a good portion of the fingerlings make it that long.[/size]
