[cool][#0000ff]There is no doubt that the tiger trout are minnow munchers of the first order. Most of the ones we caught last week were barfing up minnows as we brought them in...and the few we kept all had several minnows in their gut.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I also favor planting more tigers rather than the cutts. Anybody who has ever caught both will agree that the tigers are a lot better fighters...and better eating too. And, the reason for the slot limit on cutts at Strawberry is to allow cutts to get big enough to eat minnows. Well, the tigers start eating minnows almost as big as themselves as soon as they hit the water. Caught a 14 incher at Scofield last week that had at least a six inch minnow sticking out of it's throat...and it took my black fly as dessert.[/#0000ff]
