Any Thoughts On The ID Of This?

[Neil Maidment]

At first I was pretty sure it was a straight forward Brown, but a couple of people reckon it's a "Tiger" (Brown/Brook). Came from a small commercial trout fishery with a history of a few "exotic" introductions - including salmon! Whatever it is, it fought very well indeed!

Neil,

I thought that the 'tiger trout' was a cross between a female brown and a male brook trout, and I think that they are sterile to boot.

Aberrant brownie I think.

Peter's is an American Brook trout, distinctive white edge to the fins.

Not sure about Neil's, has a great tail on it.

It's certainly got a lot of reddish in it Neil, or are my eyes deceiving me?.
