John you have some great photo's of PKS's,

Here's one of my 9 inch PKS, I have 8 large ones that I'm selectively breeding, I kept the 10 largest ones from last years spawn, they average 4 inches and their not even a year old, they have been put into a 100 gal. tank and hopefully they will spawn.

John, there seems to be a lot of pattern and color variation in tiger trout even when gotten from the same supplier.

This past winter was the first time my brook and tiger trout made it thru the winter, I installed a pump in the stream and pumped water thru an insulated pipe up to the pond all winter long, this supplied enough oxygenated water to keep them alive under the ice.

Very nice colored and patterned fish!Looks like a holdover.It wasnt brown like that when stocked was it?

It's an unexpected bonus of this site to see such beautiful "non-bluegills" :-)

Hey Ryan, I stocked 15 Tigers in my pond this spring, they were 10 inches . The picture was taken of one at 13 inches. I also have Rainbows & Brookies.

i know the odds are small but is this one wild or was it stocked?
